HOME AND HOUSE

-
If you have a house, you have a home, that’s what people think. But this is a false statement. A house is nothing but a material thing, something that can protect us from the scorching sun or a terrible storm. People believe that the bigger their house is, the wealthier they are and the happier the home is. A home is totally different. A home is where your true happiness lies, a sacred sanctuary where your role joy resides. The comfort and happiness doesn’t mean that you have a big house, the happiness lies in the family that lives in the house. If you are happy, you are home. Maybe that is the reason why they say “Home is where the heart is”. Have you ever heard of the statement, “The House is where heart is”? It sounds strange, don’t you think? There is a great difference between home and house though you might find them related and interwoven. A house can make you comfortable with the things inside it, while a house not only makes you comfortable, it is a place one looks forward to opportunely live in everyday. A house is built by bricks, wood or any other building material while a home is built with the bond of family. A house is a place, a home is more than a place-it is a feeling. A house is where you sleep at night; a home gives you more than sleep at night. A house cannot heal you, a home gives you all the healing you need when hurt or down. A house does not get at your heart; a home gets connected with your heart. Akinleye Grace Oluwabusola

1. Be open about your needs.   I believe that the first thing people need to do is identify what truly matters to them and communicate it. Don’t hide it and don’t expect others to guess what makes you feel balanced and fulfilled. Do you need to leave work at 5 p.m. so you can have dinner with your family? Do you need to step away at 12 p.m. to attend a yoga class? Whatever your sweet spot is you need to find it and be transparent about it. Employees need to have an open dialogue with their managers and managers need to understand what works and what is possible. Different jobs require different approaches, but everyone can benefit from having an open and honest conversation about what balance means. 2. Respect boundaries.   You cannot achieve your balance if you don’t respect the boundaries you have put in place. It will be hard in the beginning but you need to stick with it so you develop a routine and drive a culture and lifestyle of predictability. You will find that there is
