Work Life Balance
Fact: Many consellors are rubbish at sorting out their own problems.
I can see lots of parellels where people do jobs for other people that they can’t apply to their own lives. Loads of financial advisers are terrible with money.
When I worked in newspapers, I made a living writing about things that happened to other people. I instantly became rubbish at corresponding with people and could not muster up any creativity.
I guess when you do something for a living, you stop enjoying that thing in your real life.
I know sport journalists who got into their jobs because they were real football nuts and who don’t follow the scores when they are out of the office.
Plenty of preachers live like the sinners they are trying to save.
A lot of comedians are not funny around the house.
Lots of porn stars stop enjoying sex. Apparently.*
I wonder if Life Coaches are always forgetting to pick up their dry cleaning or they can’t get their kids to school on time.
Maybe firemen are reckless with matches around the house.
Or high-tech computer game writers go home and unwind by roll a hoop with a stick down the street.
*Or so I have heard. If there are any porn stars reading this, would you like to confirm? Say… 10 o’clock?
