face the facts: life is a delicate balancing act, a tightrope walk with over-commitment on one side and under-commitment on the other. and it's up to each of us to walk carefully on that rope, not falling prey to pride (which causes us to attempt too much) or to fear (which causes us to attempt too little).
God's Word promises us the possibility of abundance (John 10:10), and we are far more likely to experience that abundance when we lead balanced lives.
when you allow yourself to take on too many jobs, you simply can't do all of them well. that means that if you allow yourself to be over-committed, whether at home, at work, at church or anywhere in between, you're asking for trouble. so you must learn how to say no to things you don't have the time or energy to do.
of course, sometimes saying no can be tough. Why? because well-meaning men (like you) genuinely want to help other people out. but if you allow your cart to become overworked, you may begin over-promising and under-serving-and you'll disappointed just about everybody, including yourself.
are you and your loved ones doing too much-or too little? if so, it's time to have a little chat with God. and if you listen carefully to HIS instructions, you will strive to achieve a more balanced life, a life that's right for you and your loved ones. when you do, everybody wins. good day !!!
quote of the day:
"To do too much is as dangerous as to do nothing at all. Both modes prevent us from savoring our moments. One causes me to rush right past the best of life without recognizing or basking in it, and the other finds me sitting quietly as life rushes past me." by Pasty Clairmont
