I
have seen and read a stack load of articles on how to be successful,
or do this and you will be happy, and yet there aren't many from
people who are saying that they are happy and that they are living
fulfilled lives. They are there too, but not nearly as many as those
who tell you how to do it.
It
is all too easy to see the Instagram pictures and the Facebook
statuses, and think that those people must be happy because they are
smiling and looking amazing. But are they really? Don't you think
that they too are struggling to make sense of it all? Or trying find
peace amidst the chaos and stress of everyday life? Or perhaps they
are hiding in the spotlight then no one can see how unhappy or
depressed they truly are?
Maybe
it is time to look at your corner of the world and find out if your
life is not in need of some changes before you are going to wonder
why your life is going down the drain without you noticing.
If
you are thinking about your life balance and feel that it is time to
make some changes where do you start?

I
suppose you can start with any aspect of your life, but it probably
makes sense, to begin with, our connections to other people: our
families, friends, and colleagues.
Spend
a few minutes on thinking about the quality of your relationships.
How would you qualify your relationship with your partner, spouse,
children, parents? Is the relationship good, so-so, barely on
speaking terms, or non-existent?
And
your friends? Or are they just buddies to hang out with? The same
goes for women. We are more likely to talk to each other, but are we
really talking or are we making up time with gossip and meaningless
chatter about this sale or that paint colour?
Fixing
relationships is not always a matter of spending more time together,
although that would certainly help. But unless the relationship
encompasses respect, love, and trust, time is not going to just make
the issues go away.
While
you won't necessarily feel love for your colleagues, respect and a
sense of belonging also plays a role in the work environment.
Dropping a friendship because of a lack of growth in the relationship
is more possible than changing your boss with the bad attitude.
Unless
of course, the relationship cannot be resolved, and one of you has to
seek employment elsewhere.

Whatever
your situation, take a hard look at where you stand and get someone
such as a life coach to be your guide when you take on this aspect of
your life. Remember, you don't need a life coach. What you need to do
is figure out what is wrong, and get moving on working on fixing that
relationship as soon as you can.
No
one's life is perfect, or in perfect balance, but you need to find
out what you can do to make yours as best as you honestly can.
Next
week we will take a look at our working lives - the part of our day
where we spend the most of our time.
Until
then, look after your relationships!
