Professional life or a personal life? - What to choose?

Hello readers, 

It's been a while since we had one discussion in the discussion session. I have been too much into movies and series. But I want you guys to remember that discussion session blogs shall always hold a special place in my heart. 

It allows me to speak and express or make you guys relate to some random topic. 

Today's topic has been on my mind for a long time now and now that I have restarted my blog page, I want this to be here on my feed. 

Adulting is not about becoming just mature but it is about evolving and experimenting with your life. Adulting hits you hard when you realize that you have to earn and be a responsible person in society. People should look up to you and be like "Oh, adulting was easy for her". Adulting is a fact. One day you wake up and be like oh, this is an adult me and I have to earn while balancing my own personal life that includes family, boyfriend, friends, and neighbors (because you need sugar). 

But what if professional life starts taking over your personal life? What if, the work that was supposed to make you rich demands time from your personal life? Should we just give in? Should we forget that we have someone at the house waiting for us to get back from the office? Should we forget those friends who are your stress buster and will be ever ready to have your back? Should we forget our boyfriend who makes us feel safe when the world becomes our enemy? 

I think we are forgetting the very purpose of getting a job. We need a job to pay bills and spend some money on our family or ourselves, food, clothes, investments, etc. This is the purpose and the right purpose. So now we know how important doing the job is. We need the job. Job is important because it generates income. 

But at what cost are we doing this? Does being a robot make sense? Does adulting mean becoming a robot? I guess, it's high time that the company starts valuing their employees and employees' personal lives. 

Being a boss means kabhi bhi aao and jaao and trust me 98% of the employees will never complain that their bosses don't work. But, if during a weekend an employee wants to have a rest after working so hard for 5 days, should their bosses contact them? Does this make sense to you? Is it allowed? Or am I just typing this blog post with no sense? 

What I honestly believe is that we need to set our boundaries at work as well as in our personal lives. You cannot choose one, as both are important. But honestly, even if we try to do this, some external factors make us choose one in certain circumstances and that's heart-breaking. 

In the complex tapestry of life, the choice between professional and personal life is not binary. It's about navigating the delicate balance between the two, recognizing that each complements the other in shaping a fulfilling existence. Achieving harmony requires conscious effort, self-awareness, and a commitment to maintaining equilibrium.

Ultimately, the pursuit of a meaningful life involves integrating both professional and personal aspirations. Embracing this duality allows us to lead fulfilling lives that resonate with purpose, leaving a lasting impact on both our careers and personal relationships. The key lies not in choosing one over the other but in harmonizing the symphony of our professional and personal pursuits to create a life well-lived.
