subtle breeze of daylight hours.
Whips of grass,
rustling in sway.
Salty sea of ocean blue,
A place to sit for a while.
On the shoreline grass,
Where noise is a soft hum.
The waves never stop rolling,
Always keeping the line of land and sea.
A few minutes of walking,
Life's problems step away.
A few hours a week,
Your focus will be at its peak.
The waves never stop rolling,
Always keeping the line of land and sea.
A few minutes of walking,
Life's problems step away.
A few hours a week,
Your focus will be at its peak.
The poem discusses the idea that each person needs to find balance in their lives, work life, and goals. At times that balance comes from spending time alone while other times it could be spending time with family or engaging in fitness activities. Each person should discover that which keeps them motivated about life.
Work is a process that is aesthetically pleasing for a great many high performance players. Yet life isn't only about work. It includes other things such as family, friends, goals, and hobbies. Professionals should round out their interests in life to include both work but also non-work activities.
In my experience I have met individuals whose only goal is to progress at work with little regard for the other needs in their life. They may eventually achieve their goal but must give up other things that also have importance. Too narrow of a focus takes away from the flavor of life and leads to burn out.
Find activities and hobbies that help you balance and round out your life. For example, if you like cars but never had a chance to put your effort into one go and find a classic junker to fix up on the few hours you own every weekend. Maybe you want to coach baseball, engage in art, or find something else of interest. The choice is yours!
