Episode 1292:
In Carl Pullein's thought-provoking article, he challenges the conventional quest for work-life balance by suggesting it stems from not loving what you do. Pullein argues that true success and fulfillment come from immersing oneself in work driven by passion and commitment, as exemplified by highly successful figures like Tony Robbins and Elon Musk. He encourages finding joy in one's vocation, blurring the lines between work and pleasure, and ultimately living a life fueled by passion.
Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.carlpullein.com/blog/why-worrying-about-work-life-balance-is-not-a-good-sign/22/11/2017
Quotes to ponder:
"If you worry about work-life balance you are not going to achieve the same levels of success as people like Tony Robbins, Elon Musk, Gary Vaynerchuk or Sheryl Sandberg."
"When you have a clear idea of what you enjoy doing, when your work is something you love doing, there is no dividing line between work and pleasure."
"The secret to a happy and fulfilled life is not really a secret. It is as Steve Jobs said in his famous Stanford University Commencement address in 2005; finding what you love."
