Whether we like it or not...life is about compromise.
If I was single, then I know that I would work 18-hour-days and all weekend.
But, because I have Lesley and Katie...that's not an option (if I want to keep them, that is)
Today, for example, I am all 'hyped-up' about a new project that I am working on...and would glady work until the small hours on it so that I could get it out today.
But, it's 8pm...and there's a TV programme that Lesley and I usually watch together that's just about to start.
The 'old' me would have carried on working...because I would have been too focused on 'me' instead of looking at the 'bigger picture'.
My new project can be a day or two late...my relationship with my wife won't!
What about you - do you find it difficult to balance the new focused you with a relationship with someone?
It's not always easy to do...especially if they don't 'agree' with the new you!
It's all about balance. Unless you give a little now...then you won't have much leeway when you REALLY need to do something that may be critical.
Also...don't feel bad towards your family...it's not too much to ask to want to spend some time with you, is it?
Just remember those times when you were a lonely teenager - wishing that you had a boyfriend or girlfriend!
Don't take your family and friends for granted. Without them - you will never be able to call yourself a true success in life.
