Career..how far to go..when is it enough

I must say I do love my job and the opportunities it has given me. But of late, it keeps reoccurring to me if this is what I really want in life. Climbing the corporate ladder has with it more responsibilities, and with that a whole load of stress.

My recent assignment has exposed me to a very fast paced part of the organization, while I think it’s challenging and has it’s perks, it also really stressed me out. My husband’s wise advice is true that I need to learn how to manage this stress. It’s probably a learning curve I need to master once again.

Now though I come again to a cross point, how far do I really want to go. When is it enough for me...I am quite contented but still feel there is more to achieve, at the same time how much am I willing to sacrifice.

Though overall work has been getting to me, I must say getting up each day and saying I can get through this however tough, has helped with some small perks.

We had this breakfast challenge at work within my department and my team came in 1st place. Yippees! Small rewards but still was a nice win.

Then during Safety day, I got myself another prize which was sweet though the rest of the work part of the day wasn’t that great. This was still another lovely memory. And so was the site visit. :D As they say, concentrate on what went right, just learn from the ones that didn't?
