Today, I would like to pose a situation for you to ponder. The situation is as follows: you have a hectic schedule keeping up with your wide network of family & close friends, a full-time job that you love, school full-time to prepare you for your future career in the health care field, & on top of all this you have a new love interest who you have a spark with & feel like you have known them for a long-time. You feel stretched so thin that you can't find enough hours to sleep, you have to plan time with friends every other week, & at points in the day you feel so tired & drained that you can barely keep it together. So, you feel like you have too much going on & need to cut back somewhere.

Family & friends are the people that you lean on when things get tough & the first to understand & sympathize with your situations. You need money to survive, so it is hard to change your work situation. School is a given too, because it is going to get you to your professional goals. This leads us to the new relationship you have in your life, which would not be fun to walk away from because there is always that chance for love. So, the question is what do you do? Where do you cut back or is there a way to balance these things?

There may not be a perfect answer & there is definitely not a finite right or wrong answer, but the degree of change in your life will always result in a change to something in your life in the opposite direction as a result. So, lets look at some hypothetical answers because we have basically boiled it down to a couple factors you can change your love life or your work schedule. I will not attempt to answer this question, but let you make your judgments as to what you would do if you had to make this decision. I would like to leave you with the 2 following thoughts for you to ponder while making your decision. In life, what will provide you the most satisfaction & security money or a relationship? Many people go through life letting their work define who they are & then one day they cannot do the same work anymore for one of life's many reasons & then they feel lost, but those who work to live & live for life & love can always find happiness in even the smallest things. So, what would you do?
