[https://louisecousins.co.uk/author/lcousins/](https://louisecousins.co.uk/author/lcousins/) By [LCousins](https://louisecousins.co.uk/author/lcousins/) December 9, 2022 1 Min Read [0](https://louisecousins.co.uk/how-much-time-will-you-spend-with-the-people-that-matter-to-you/#respond) A dear friend and colleague shared a video with us on his last working day this week. He’s off to pastures new and looking to improve his own work life balance. The video is so poignant that honestly everyone should watch and learn from it. From my own experience I learned the hard way how easy it is to take everything for granted, that we should live our lives one day at a time, to its most fullest extent. Be true to ourselves and surround ourselves by the things and people we love. When my husband passed 3 years ago I vowed to change how I live and to appreciate every moment we are given on this earth. #### Tags: [balance](https://louisecousins.co.uk/tag/balance/) [life](https://louisecousins.co.uk/tag/life/) [live work](https://louisecousins.co.uk/tag/live-work/) [https://louisecousins.co.uk/author/lcousins/](https://louisecousins.co.uk/author/lcousins/) Author#### [LCousins](https://louisecousins.co.uk/author/lcousins/) [Follow Me](https://louisecousins.co.uk/author/lcousins/) ##### Other Articles [https://louisecousins.co.uk/what-does-ai-think-of-the-metaverse/](https://louisecousins.co.uk/what-does-ai-think-of-the-metaverse/) Previous ### [What does ai think of the metaverse](https://louisecousins.co.uk/what-does-ai-think-of-the-metaverse/) [https://louisecousins.co.uk/a-brief-note-from-me-for-the-holiday-season/](https://louisecousins.co.uk/a-brief-note-from-me-for-the-holiday-season/) Next ### [A brief note from me for the holiday season](https://louisecousins.co.uk/a-brief-note-from-me-for-the-holiday-season/) ##### No Comment!
