When Hard Work Becomes Too Hard: Finding Balance in a World That Glorifies Overwork

It’s okay to want to do well. To build, to grow, to achieve. Those desires are beautiful 1 they speak to your sense of purpose and possibility.

But remember this: you are allowed to build a life that doesn’t break you in the process.

The goal isn’t to escape work - it’s to make space for life to exist alongside it. For laughter, connection, stillness, and self.

Because no matter how far you climb, no title or paycheck will replace the feeling of being rested, alive, and at peace with yourself.

So maybe this week, pause and ask - 
What am I working so hard for?
And am I giving as much care to my life as I am to my work?

You deserve a version of success that doesn’t come at the cost of yourself.
