Balancing Business and Personal Life

Note to self.

My business and personal lives thrive in different modes.

“Seize the day” is a good attitude to adopt in business. Attack your work, have a bias to action. Don’t wait for the phone to ring, make it happen.

But when it comes to my personal life, I’ve found that my life and relationships flow much better when I “let the day seize me”. It’s best to just relax and allow the beauty, magic and mystery to seep in. No need to grasp, just open and receive.

So, “carpe diem” (seize the day) when at work. And “permitte diem capere” (let the day seize you) when it comes to life and relationships.
