Lindsay, you are right - work is NOT everything. I have been through that - working 10-12 hour days, 6 days a week. It is no fun and very hard. I don't do it anymore because with Gary I never know when he might get really sick and I want to spend as much time with him while he still feels good. But I did it to get tenure and promotion at my University and I would do it again, because it was the right thing for me at the time.
Sometimes we have to do things we don't really like (like spending too much time on something) for various reasons. And many times they are good reasons - to get ahead, to get a promotion, to start a business, etc etc. This is not necessarily a bad thing - because we all like to get ahead, make more money, or whatever. But when it becomes distressing and causes us to be upset, then that is time to think about other possibilities. Sometimes we don't have other options, sometimes we do. It's a balancing act.
