Are you working to live -- or living to work?

Have you said any of these phrases lately?

  • "I'm almost done..." -- or

  • "This will only take a minute..." -- or even

  • "Right after this one, I'll be free to spend time with you."


Each time I catch myself saying something like this, I'm reminded of the song by Harry Chapin called "Cats In The Cradle."

You can choose your friends but you can’t choose your family...and why that matters

What was life like for you as a kid? What were your parents like? What kind of environment did they create for your family? How did communication work? How were decisions made? What did family life center around?


The answers to these questions may have had more of an impact on you than you think!
