No blockage, so it’s a lifestyle wake up call.

Bear here is what I will say. I find that this way of thinking about the world around me helps me out and perhaps it will help you as well. Think of all of the things that have importance in your life. Your family, your friends and other things in your personal life. Think of work related things as well and the importance they have in your life. Take this thought and apply it to the two previous things I mentioned. If you are still alive and kickin' in 20 years what will be the things of importance to you and what will be what matters in 20 years to you that also matters today. It won't be deadlines you had to meet at work or people you had to work with or work goals accomplished. The only thing that will matter 20 years from now that matters currently is your family and friends and how you treat people along the way. The rest of it just does not matter. Focus that big heart of yours on the things that intimately matter in your life and let the rest just be the rest. Keep doing good and keep being a positive light in the lives of folks that need it.

I get the work versus relationships thing, but I love work, I love the people I work with, and in many cases I’m most known by others that I work with. My sense of accomplishment comes from work.  I find tremendous meaning from work and most of my “atta girl” ego strokes come from work. 

maybe it’s unique to lawyering I dunno, we are in the people business after all, but to me work is integral to the balance that at least I crave. 

I do agree that overworking is a problem. Ignoring family, hobbies, rest, contemplation, health and other priorities for work is no good.
