For most people it seems such enlightenment comes incrementally vs. a jump. Little overnight bags vs. suitcases. i.e. We finally act on our knowledge that we don't need to commute 45 minutes each way and still get our work done...and then we soon realize that all those meetings are truly as wasteful as they seem. And so on. We come to our larger senses. Best advice I ever had? A job coach had me write down the three most fulfilling things I enjoy doing at work and at home. I realized at the time I was only doing 2 of the six. Other demands had crept in. I could then track 20 years of professional ups and downs by retracing when these points of fulfillment came and went. It's more than balance. It's identifying what you enjoy and finding the place to make it happen. Hi Nanci: A timely and thought provoking post! For most people it seems such enlightenment comes incrementally vs. a jump.
