Why do we celebrate people for working 80 hours a week to build a business?
Why do we celebrate people for working 80 hours a week to build a business… but ignore the damage it often does at home? I’m not against hard work. I’ve worked extremely hard. But I’ve also watched successful people quietly lose their marriages, health, kids, peace, and relationship with God while everyone applauded their “success.” Is it possible we’ve defined success completely wrong? This Mother’s Day, maybe success isn’t just about what we build outside the home… Maybe it’s also about whether the people closest to us feel valued, seen, loved, and prioritized while we build it. To the wives and mothers holding families together quietly behind the scenes: Thank you. And to the men reading this: Don’t just build a successful business. Build a life the people you love actually get to experience with you. Tell the mothers and wives around you how much they truly mean to you today. Happy Mother’s Day.
