If we are not careful life has a strange way of taking over your life, and can began to overwhelm or run you. I believe that the most challenging endeavor in life is learning how to manage the many task that are before us. Work, children, projects, finances, and spiritual nourishment are all part of our responsibilities. How do we manage all these different responsibilities without becoming consumed or overwhelmed? Learning to prioritize what's most important is a great start. I find my days are most successful when I address my spiritual man first thing in the morning. When I feed this side of me it has a remarkable way of centering me in what's most important, and keeps me from becoming entangled in the areas which I really don't have any control. Did I say control? That's the place that I need to stay away from. The only thing that I do have control over is myself, and how I react or respond to the things or situations around me. The bible speaks of not worrying. Worry divides the mind, and we find ourselves not trusting God, but allowing the things around us to steal our peace, and joy. Daily reflection and introspection within myself keeps me centered in the things that are most important, and allows me to operate in a healthy manner. The most definitive element of life resides in knowing when to let go of things that keeps us from spiritual growth and development. The bottom line rests in trusting God, and understanding that life is a continual process of evaluation, and accepting whatever God shows us that needs to be changed in our lives. Managing our lives is a perpetual reflection of self, and cleaning the areas of our lives that needs to be addressed.
