“Do you consider yourself a workaholic?” In a recent Canadian study 1/3 of the respondents answered “yes”. What I found even more interesting is that in comparison with non-workaholics, self-identified workaholics are more likely:
- to feel that their domestic lives are out of balance
- to report poorer health
- to feel trapped in a daily routine
- to feel rushed
- to worry that they don’t spend enough time with family or friends
Can you relate to any of this?
A wise man once asked “What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?” (Ecc 1:3). It seems that this study is suggesting there is a good chance all he gets is grief.
For sure, it is as if chasing the wind. I would also recommend a read from Dr. Blaylock regarding anxiety which I would assume most work a holics are victims of as well.
