Live to work or work to live

The finer things in life never come cheap and it seems these days that that is becoming more and more prevalent. But does this mean that we should spend every hour of every day doing the daily drudgery of life? Or is it merely that we have perhaps lost a little perspective on the important things? The difficulty comes when you’re striving and minute of the day and straining every sinew for something that you passionately believe in, but that doesn’t necessarily make the rest of your life any easier! So should we just give up and let things drift by, or should we continue to not worry about how high energy prices will go this winter and carry on regardless. I like to think that the cream really does rise, and that the things we truly value will always come to the top. What has this to do with the AMP Awards I hear you cry? Well on the surface of it, not an awful lot. But the team that delivers AMP does it because we all believe in the true finer things in life, the things money cant buy, the difference in a young persons life, giving them the chance to take the next step, a brilliant business strategy they have developed, an amazing photograph or the simplicity of a song they have created! Therefore when asked whether I work to live or live to work, I say that I do both, that working is working and living is living but how about we do both and enjoy the real finer things in life. Enjoy this Christmas and everything that comes with it but remember what matters!
See you on the other side!
