31 Days of Balancing Work and Home {day two} : no guilt!

Today will be short and sweet. Actually, my goal is to keep all of these posts short and sweet. I barely made it to this one; I have a little over an hour left to get today's post in! I am looking forward to the pressure of the challenge! :)

 

Here's the thought for today on balancing work and home:

Don't allow yourself to feel guilty about wanting to have- and be great at- both a career and homemaking. I think we are pressured to choose by many forces: our jobs, our friends, society, our own thoughts. It's ok if you want to be great on the job and great in the home. You can be! So set aside the guilt, if you struggle with it. Set aside the perfectionist expectations you may have for both aspects of your life. And revel in the fact that you have it in your heart to do amazing things in both of your realms of influence! It's not an easy thing, so let's get to work finding a balance, shall we?
