Why working while on vacations is actually the right thing to do!

Today marks my 3rd day on vacations and I have 12 more to go. It also marks my 3rd day in a row working by stealing some time off between chilling on my veranda and relaxing at the beach!

On the beginning I was feeling kind of weird. Strange thoughts were coming to my mind. Thoughts like: “come on man, you are here on vacations, dah”, or “it can’t be all about work. You have to set your self apart for few days and completely disconnect”.

I was really frustrated and thought that I was doing something wrong here!

On the other hand I wanted to work. I wanted to check on with my customers. To check on with our offered services. To even try to pitch to more clients… ohh man what am I thinking!! I think that I’m losing it!

I know me and I know that working is something that I love. Working for me is not a 9 to 5 thing is a 24/7 thing. I’m not the guy who switches off after work time is off because it’s never goes off. I’m not the guy who sets up a “Out of office reminder” when I’m on vacations, because I’m always on office mode and the thing is that I don’t feel bad about it. That’s who I am!

I feel better when I am productive. I feel better when I’m helping my company, my clients and my family to prosper. Business never sleeps and so I don’t, but you know what? It’s not even about that after all.

I really am committed for my success and for my family’s’ success. I am committed to provide to my family and to my community what I have said I will and this has been engraved to my system so deep that it has been my second nature.

People are talking about “Work Life Balance” and how you have to separate business and life, but let me tell you something? For some people – like my self – business and life IS THE SAME THING! We cannot separate those two things because they are actually one. Im not doing work life balance. I’m doing Life! And im damn happy about it!

So instead of feeling bad, down or that I’m doing something wrong, I am embracing it even more. Because this is what makes me happy and aligned with my cause after all.
