Real Leaders Unplug

Real leaders recognize there is a difference between the personal, family, faith, vocation, and community dimensions of their lives. They know that while all are integrated, there needs to be a balance. Technology threatens to change all that. Technology has taken over. But it’s not as if we mind. Modern people have a love affair with technology. But if we are entranced, we are also enmeshed. The downside of technology is real and painful, and it is the far-reaching tentacles of technology - ​directly or indirectly - ​that have caused the majority of our work-life problems. In the past, there was a closure on the end of every day. It was called night. There also existed a closure on the end of every week - ​it was called Sabbath (observed by most on Sunday). Today, there are no natural closures. One religious leader suggested that Sunday is a day to stop our work, and it also is a day to stop thinking about our work. In Scriptures, the faithful disconnected from their work for a Sabbath every week. If we wish a healthy work-life balance, we will need to confront technology’s hold on our lives. We will seek balance. We will unplug. Do you need help finding the balance? Truth@Life can help. Call 248-396-6255 or email me at curtis.songer@gmail.com for a FREE consultation.
