I recently rediscovered my book that was published a few years ago by Anvil in the Philippines.
"Rich Life: Creating Meaningful Wealth" includes ideas from Josie Natori, Rico Hizon, and other executives on how to integrate one's life and work aspirations:
Rich Life: Creating Meaningful Wealth
Here are a few excerpts from the book:
"Plan your life, not just your career. After all, you only get one chance of a lifetime. If you were told that you had only a few years to live, wouldn't you endeavor to make the most not only of your work choices but also your personal decisions as well?"
"Each person may have a different way of reckoning his mission in life, depending on his upbringing, education and personal belief system. The idea may even seem alien to some people while for others, it is as clear as daylight. One thing remains certain though. The idea of having a mission comes from the recognition of a higher being who directs our lives."
"Many people seek fulfillment not only in their work but in their whole lives as well. The key lies in integration. Your life and your work need not be separate realities. While circumstances may not always be close to ideal, a person who is aware of his life-work connection will nonetheless strive towards that balance. There is also a need to set clear priorities so that when the moment comes that a choice needs to be made, the transition is smoother. For married couples, a family-centered approach is also worth considering especially since every decision one makes affects everyone in the family as well."
[The book is available at National Bookstore and Amazon.com]
