Overwhelmed

Have you ever heard the following quote (or something similar to it)? “You make time for what is important to you.” Have you ever thought of the truth of this statement? Think of it this way, the next time someone says to you, “I’m to busy to help you.” What they are actually saying is “I have other duties in my life that rank higher than your request. I am so sorry.”

I am all for prioritizing one’s life for optimal efficiency. The reason a person is too busy with work is because that is important to that person for various reasons. That is a top priority to them. Whatever you value the most (like material things, family, exercise, pornography, or your pets just to name a few) will determine what you make time for in your life.

Read Matthew 6:19-21. This passage will give you a true idea as to where your priorities should be. So the next time you hear someone is completely overwhelmed; it’s because that person has chose make everything a main concern.

As you know that can lead to lot’s of stress or a nervous breakdown. Learn to say, “no.” That one word can save on lots of doctor bills, and eventually become one of your favorite words (and friend).
