I look forward for Mondays because of the Readings and Videos
Quiz assignment. Not because I am a geek and like quizzes, but because I have
always something new to learn.
Learned
This week I learned that balance professional life and family is
a matter of priority. Depending of what I want in that moment of my life I will
focus more on one part, because it's hard to maintain a balanced life being a
CEO, for example.
Once I did a Family and Work class with my husband, and we had
to make a project about balancing work and family. I recall that was used an
analogy of puzzle pieces to show that we can achieve balance by fitting the
priorities together. The final result is a big picture. My husband and I used
in our project the analogy of notes of a song. Instead of finding balance we
searched for harmony because there will be times when our family will need more
attention and time than our business and vice-versa.
Not
Learned
The entrepreneur life seems to be a hard way, as our life is.
Sometimes I think that to open a business we need to give up of so much in our
lives, but it does not need to be that way. I think our work should be part of
our lives, and we should feel that’s the way I want to live when talking about
work. But these are only my impressions; I know I have a lot to learn
regarding work/life balance.
"Attitude
on Money"
- What is your attitude toward
money?
I had
dificulty to deal with money in the pass feeling bad to not have money, to have
and use it, or have money while other didn't, but now I am more aware of the
importance of money and at the same time it's not the center of my life.
- How can your view of money
affect the way you live?
It helps me
work for a specific amount of money to only supply our needs, not more than
that. I don't feel the obligation to have a lot of money in order to be happy
and in peace because money is not a provider of happiness, it only provides
means to survive or make things.
- What rules are recommended
for prospering?
There are
other important things, rather than money, that I can strive to have that are
eternal. But I also know the power that money has in this mortal stage of our
lives and how much good contributions I can do if I have a lot of money.
My only intent to search for money would be to improve other people's
lives, or in other words, to use money with a good purpose. This would be one
of the rules to propering, and I add it to: paying the tithing, investing, wasting less than we
earn, and staying away of debts.
