Road runners have a poor relationship with their loved ones. This totem animal is also calling us to check our relationship with our families and friends. The question is are you are sacrificing too much of your family time? Remember charity begins at home, what’s the use of helping somebody if you cannot help your loved ones. Since you are chosen by the road runner and you are good in planning, why not plan a nice weekend that your family will enjoy, you might not notice it but a simple event like this will be appreciated by the people who matter most to you.

It is fine to focus your energy on work, but never take your work with you at your home, treat your house a sacred place that your family dwells in. Let me ask you this, would you allow a stranger to enter your house? Your work is a stranger to your family and they won’t be comfortable having it in their home. Finish what you must finish on your work and after that go home and have fun with your family.
