Love according to Mr. Google can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection ("I love my mother") to pleasure ("I loved that meal"). It can refer to an emotion of a strong attraction and personal attachment while Career is defined by the is defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as a person's "course or progress through life (or a distinct portion of life)". In this definition career is understood to relate to a range of aspects of an individual's life, learning and work.
LOVE OR CAREER, I CHOOSE BOTH!
The choice between love and career has always been a great debate for decades. Many people especially those who are in relationships struggles on this matter. It is hard for someone to give up any of this two and end up sacrificing. Career is as important as love for career will support your living while love on the other hand is as important as career because it gives the vivid color of your world.
After watching the movie I just realized that you don't need to give up anything, you have to choose and take time for each decisions you make. If your partner is supportive of your dreams (like Erich in the movie)then there will be no problem. You just have to weight everything, If you think your career will make you a better person then do it (like Mario in the movie) after all it is your dream and at the end of the day you will still end up together. Love and career should be balance, choosing one from the other will always have benefits and consequences. Supporting each others decision will make your relationship stronger.
Based from my own experience, as a young professional I am at the midst of taking serious decisions in life I too struggles over this matter. My boyfriend is an engineer and he works in Dubai, his profession suits best in other countries like Dubai while I am a devoted teacher who promised to stay in my own country and nurture young minds. If you will try to understand the picture we live in two different worlds but why do we still manage to meet both worlds and keep our career and the flame of our love hot(we are now in an almost 7-year relationship)
This are few tips on how we overcome the great struggle:
1. Treat each other well, make sure you have time to talk with each other despite the super busy schedule.
2. Don't routinize things, give surprises if possible
3. Don't argue over time, time is a gift make the most out of it, don't be jealous with the time he indulge himself in works after all overtimes is for your future.
4.Don't work when you are together, set limits when you are together prioritize each other.
5. Be cooperative
6. Be compassionate over his needs
7. Love him unconditionally and focus on your work
8. Learn to accept things that you cannot change
9. Think well
10. Follow your heart
11. Living together for love and work is a better inspiration than living alone and working. would you love to see yourself 10 or 20 years from now counting all your money alone?
12. Have the right perspective in life
As what David Bohl's said It is only when we can maintain this delicate balance that we are living life to its greatest potential. So learn to balance ourselves, we don't need to choose after all the two serves as spices in our colorful life. The two when use properly gives us a wonderful life in our future, and we should not forget to make God as the center of our lives so we can be happy all the time!
I am inspired to write on this due to the movie Suddenly It's Magic wherein I watched a while ago at CinemaOne
