Getting the balance correct with how hard you work, the time you give to yourself and those that require your emotional inputs and time and to get that consistently right over decades of ones life is a lot to deal with.

To quote Shakespeare....well to paraphrase....well to play with his words, but you get my point:

"To work or go home? That is the question, whether 'tis nobler to put the hours in and to take arms against a sea of troubles or by going home...to regenerate"

The point is, you can stay at work for many reasons....you:

• love it
• validate yourself through it
• fear it
• want to contribute
• etc......

But where are you in all of this? And what about those that need you?
