AgreeOrDisagree | Thom Rigsby

Well, here we go, installment number two in the Agree or Disagree series. Today’s topic should be a doosie!

Agree or Disagree #2
Work-Life Balance is a myth.

For all the time and effort that has gone into finding work-life balance, you’d think someone would have found it by now! Kind of like Bigfoot, right?! Well, here’s the thing…lots of people HAVE found it, they just call it something different…LIFE.

Yep, that’s right…it’s just life. Now don’t get me wrong…work will be a big part of your life, but that’s what it is, a PART of your LIFE. There’s family, friends, hobbies, sports…all the other things that make us well-rounded, happy, and healthy folks.

So rather than trying to find a way to keep them separate and balanced, I say we should find ways to make them work to mutually benefit one another, you know, like finding a job on the beach (or better yet, starting a business on the beach)…something that combines your work and your life to create the lifestyle of your dreams!

If we’ve ever had the opportunity to talk about such things, you may have heard me say that one of our greatest losses in my lifetime has been our ability to disagree with one another. Get three people together and you’re guaranteed to find SOMETHING that someone disagrees with…and at some point it’s going to come up!

We have no hope of reaching our fullest potential as a society and as individuals unless we re-learn how to express our ideas and beliefs with one another, talking about our differences, and committing ourselves to growth!

So, with that as an objective, I’m starting an irregular series of posts called Agree or Disagree. In these posts I intend to publish thoughtful dichotomies that we can explore critically and, hopefully, grow as we discuss.

So, without further ado…here goes number one…

Agree or Disagree #1:
What you THINK doesn’t matter, what you DO matters.

As the old saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions. In my coaching practice, I frequently talk to business owners or high-level employees who have been thinking about doing something and now they find themselves stuck. In all these cases, what you think has no impact on the outcome, what you do creates results. Do you agree or disagree?
