Work-Life Balance
the M Y T H of
when we
struggle with
constantly working
to get projects &
work done…
long hours
when we

meaningful time

when we struggle to maintain a
healthy lifestyle
when we struggle to maintain a

P R I O R I T I E S
enjoy every moment of itthis is where I am right now
Discipline2
develop daily habits that support your PRIORITIES
put your priorities in yourC A L E N D A R

I said TRY because life happens to us
and don’t feel bad if you didn’t make your schedule; there’s a reason it’s called DISCIPLINE
Accept3

accepting ourlimitations
IS NOT a sign of
CONFIDENCEit’s a declaration of
weakness
“
we need a better
p a t hto get to our next
destination

failing to P L A N is planning to F A I L
we need to INTENTIONALLY PLAN our life
before someone else does it for us & throw it out of BALANCE
