It’s not necessarily a balance of work and life, but a keen appreciation.
Not the number of hours you spend, but the time focused on things and people that are important to you.
Becoming a better parent, spouse or employee does not come down to how much time you spend but what you do with the time you have.
“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Never give up work. Work gives you meaning and purpose and life is empty without it. If you are lucky enough to find love, remember it is there and don’t throw it away.” — Stephen Hawking
