The Joys And Challenges Of Working Women Today

In the hurry and bustle of every day life, we often forget what truly matters and what defines us in life. Do we lose sight of who we are? 

Women staying at home and dedicated to their family are often taken for granted. We often tend to undestimate them. Yet, even working women face problems as they continue to grapple with getting the attention and respect they deserve.

But a question always flash in my mind. As a woman, I always try to understand the problems of other women so that we can work together and make a difference in our lives.

However, these come with its own set of challenges as we continue to disregard the important things in life and chase either material concerns or compromise our own happiness and sense of self.

Are we getting some sort of reward in the form of admiration, money, sense of self contentment?

A work life balance

We are living in a modern society where every woman needs to be self -reliant rather than dependent. It is essential to do your duty. But is it that easy to create a balance between life and work? We can try to work towards a healthy work life balance. Yet, even though we hear this word almost daily, we never really venture deep into what it truly means? We need to understand the layers beneach this simple yet complex and extensive word.

This single word is also interlinked with your love, relationship, and responsibility. Meanwhile, very simple but effective tips may help us achieve this and make the most of what life has to offer us. However, we all continue to be persistent and determined. Stress can also be the gentle giant that pushed us forward! We need to love our work, people, time, life, virtue, morality, and treasure our dignity.

The material world is false

But ironically, we are chasing our dreams in a material world rather than keeping in mind what truly matters.  It is true that we as human being always want a luxurious life. Yet, somewhere, we really need to see the light and real happiness lying within us. This can be anywhere, be it our work, our home life, or our families.

Balance is not doing all the work in the same day with great perfection, but it’s doing work with the joy and commitment without being pressurised. The vibrance in our life can be seen in the form of pray, responsibility, love, care for our family, house chores and so on so forth.
