Life balance? Does one need to find oneself in the present moment only so not to give more weight to either the past or the future? Does one always truly need to eliminate desire to avoid disappointment? To limit your choices so not to be burdened by them? Where does one begin and stop trying to live full life and not to suffer its inevitable consequences? Or is it possible at all? Does one truly have to have nothing in order to have the world?
How do I sell work / life balance to managers with an old school mentality? I’ve been selected on my job to sell the concept of work / life balance to a bunch of managers who are from the old school and think everyone needs to be in the office from 9 to 5 Monday – Friday. Even though we have employees in the office during these times, it does not equate to productivity. However based on the research I’ve done, many people are more productive when given the opportunity to work in alternate locations (telework) and schedules (compressed work week, flex-schedule). Could you help me with some suggestions on how to best sell the work / life balance concept? I want them to walk away from my presentation thinking they have no choice but to adopt this program as part of our policy. Thanks for your help!!

Our house is on the market and our dogs have been kenneled--is it ok to bring them home?Life balance as seller It's been almost 3 months. Part of our frustration in keeping our house listed is our dogs are kenneled to preserve the new lanscaping, floors, etc. If we bring them home and keep them groomed and then confined or out of the house when people are looking do you think it would ruin our chances of selling if we brought them home? I miss them so much! Also--it's $900 p/m to kennel them and we are going into debt to keep them somewhere else. to keep our home in pristine condition. If we bring them home would it reduce our showings if we asked for extra notice to clean any dog hair and arrange kenneling them for a couple of hours at the dog kennel? We'd be changing the showing instructions from "call and show" to "by apt. only". Help! I want my life back to some degree. I am pregnant and have a toddler--I work and have a husband with a long commute so I have to do the cleaning, etc.. myself because I telecommute for the most part. Any life balance suggestions?
Are there any guidelines about work and private life balance? Is there any limit to how much is expected? I work for a large orgasnisation. The work load imposed upon employees is unmanageable and therefore creates high stress levels. This leads to long working hours - often 12-14 hrs plus each day, with no prospect of being paid for the time or getting it back. This is not the issue I have however. I am now in a position where my job is impacting upon my home life and health. The managers of this organisation are uninterested and appear unwilling to act upon these concerns. Where do I stand as I am fearful of making mistakes as this could lead to disciplinary proceedings, (and possibly the sack) and also of the impact that this is having upon me personally. Is there anything I can do? Very helpful answers and I take your point. However I work for a criminal justice agency andf I trained for 2 years for this job, the qualification is specific, so I am kind of pigeon holed! Beleive me I have been looking for another job and still am, but at the same time feel quite angry that I am almost being forced to leave a career I enjoy because of the bad management of my particular office.

What are the areas of balance in life that people need to discover? Balance is the ability to stand between two extremes without wavering and without insecurity. Those of us who have a few years on our belt know that balance comes with good teaching and with experience. I'm endeavoring to figure out what the different areas of life and character are that we need balance in, for example: idealism vs realism - can't be too real and can't be too "head in the clouds" ideal. Self-judgementalism vs self-analysis - can't be too hard on yourself, but you can't be lazy minded either. Isolation vs individualism - we have to recognize our need for others, but can't get too caught up with the crowd either. So what about you? What areas in your life have you had to discover a balance between two extremes of character that served you well?

Can credit card companies change the rate on a "for life" balance transfer offer? I have a significant amount of debt on 2 different cards that were both a balance transfer offer that was 3.99% for the life of the balance. Aside from me missing a payment or going over my credit limit (which I have never done), in general, is there any way the credit card company can change my rate?? Thanks.

I am just wondering if there is a loophole that would allow them to change it otherwise.

Unraveling experience, What is a good book to regain balance in life? I can't be specific about subject, sorry... just can't. Certain cards have been played against me. You could almost say these people are like the spawn of Satan in the way they wield their power and destroy lives.

It will take my worldly possesions, leave me in an old and crippled state. I will finish the last years of my life struggling and working like I never had too work, a loaf of bread and cheese will be a feast... and there is nothing more I can do too prevent it from happening.... what book, story would you suggest for me too read to try and re-center my life.

One of my favorite reads was, Les Miserable by Victor Hugo, what other books, poems, would you suggest?
