Uncommon Point of View - where it’s all about living differently to enjoy a successful life!
Success is often the result of uncommon thinking!
In this episode:
Steve Rice, creator of TrueSpiritualAwakening.com, and I discuss the paradox of the Work-Life Balance. Steve declares it a load of crap!
Listen in to part of a conversation Steve and I had about this very subject. A lot of people would argue that the work/life balance is an external experience of just finding time to work and still have a life. But Steve goes deeper than that. Hear his experience with this paradox and learn what you can do differently to manage your life for optimal life-work balance and fun.
Coming up on the next show…
I talk with Pamay Bassey and her remarkable “52 Weeks of Worship Project” where she visited a different place of worship every week for a year. Fascinating experience so keep listening!

Steve Rice recently posted..What To Do When You’re Afraid of Taking The Wrong Path
Aw man, I am loving NYC! I am definitely going to need a couple of massages lined up for when I get back as my feet are killing me from all this walking around, even with so called comfortable shoes. But it’s all good!
Thanks so much for joining me on the show and you know we’ll be talking more soon!

I know it seems a bit pedantic for some, but one piece of language I’m trying to reform is the use of the term “work/life balance.” If language shapes our reality even just a little bit, then “work/life balance” – although its meant to be have positive connotations – must be reinforcing some negative views of life for all of us. Work and life are not somehow distinct “realities” that we can balance. “Work” is surely not meant to be devoid of “life.” Equally, considered, engaged and relational work can surely be part of a highly connected, health-ful life (even potentially a very big part of it). I know the term is coined to try to get us to live in a more “balanced” way but I suspect it simply allows those who see “work” and “life” as mechanically disconnected realities, to continue with that problematic viewpoint – and to continue tinkering with work to make it a “bit more friendly” rather than reforming the notion of work and its part in a whole life..
