Motivations for work -life balance and satisfaction

The human brain is not good at assessing the past or forecasting the future with any degree of accuracy. Because individuals tend to remember the significance they place on experiences rather than the actual events themselves. The assessments of those nearing the end of their lives could provide insight into this matter.

Remember that Bronnie Ware, an Australian nurse who provided care to patients near the end of their lives, stated in her compilation of impressions from talks with individuals near death that she had never heard someone say, "I wish I had earned more money" .

Working in the business world and making a living shouldn't be something someone has to do in order to exist. People who work gain identity, a sense of usefulness, and an understanding of their own limitations.

While individuals live to be happy by leading meaningful lives, institutions exist to maximise profits. In the previous century, this condition was seen as contradictory.

Without a doubt, expecting people to perform at the expense of their lives and making them believe that their lives just consist of work is neither practical, humane, or moral in the society we live in today.

The bulk of the day, as well as its most active and energising portion, is spent in business life. We are most worn out by the people we love and the things we decide to do at this point.

When someone works in a job that gives them a feeling of purpose and returns home in the evening to be welcomed by someone they can relate to and understand, that person is living in heaven on earth.

All human behaviour is driven by three fundamental drives throughout life. Since the first day of recorded history, people have lived in communities. It's crucial to get along with people for this reason.

Everyone aspires to get higher in the hierarchy that exists in every community. All individuals seek purpose in their lives. People turn to philosophy, science, and religion in search of this meaning. The world of business provides the chance to contribute to a cause greater than oneself.

It is now crucial to strike a balance between job and personal life. Because working in business provides a significant chance for people to discover a sense of purpose.

Even though it can be challenging to find purpose in some occupations other than earning money, many jobs that have an impact on the lives of end users can provide a sense of fulfilment.

Master Altan stated, "If the pleasure a person gets while doing a job is more than the pleasure he gets when spending the money he earns from that job, the person will be happy."
