            THIS WEEK PROMPT

Do We Work to Live, or Live to Work?

From the moment we step into adulthood, work becomes a central part of life. Some of us take any job we can find just to survive. Others chase careers that consume every waking hour. Somewhere in between, people are constantly trying to balance passion, family, and survival.

We see it everywhere in our modern days society:

• A father working two jobs, never home, because bills don’t wait.

• A young woman leaving a toxic job, even though it paid well, to protect her mental health.

• A mother giving up her career dreams so she can raise her children.

• Someone proudly choosing passion over pay, even if it means living modestly.

But here’s the other side:

Are we supposed to live just for work defining our entire worth by what we do for a living? Or should work be nothing more than a tool to make life possible, so we can enjoy the moments that really matter?

Many people live with guilt because they feel like they’re “failing” if they don’t sacrifice everything for career success. Others regret spending so much of life working, only to realize they missed time with family, friends, and themselves.

Some say, “Work gives us identity, respect, and purpose.”

Others argue, “Work is just survival means life is meant for living, not labor.”

And some believe in a balance lifestyle Work enough to provide, but never let it steal the life you’re working so hard to protect.

Share your story or perspective. Did you ever choose work over family or family over work? Do you work just for yourself, or for your children’s future? This is your space to be real.
