Are you trying to do it all? I’m sure you can. I’m sure you can do it all. What I’m not so sure about is if you can do it all at the same time or all by yourself.

Life is definitely a marathon and not a sprint. But you may be running it as a sprint and that’s all right for a day or two…but after a while you wear down. Your mind isn’t as sharp. You become grouchy. Your spirit is downcast.

Sure do it all, have it all, be it all in life. Squeeze every precious drop from every minute of every day. But if you’re going to enjoy life while you get it all, you’re going to have to give up control of some things and ask for help. An orchestra achieves harmony by playing different notes in rhythm. You’re going to have to value friendships and give attention, energy, and time to those people you like. You’re going to have to laugh a lot, especially at yourself.

You’re going to have to let go and let God. Spend time talking with God daily. Laugh at the little things around you. Watch a baby toddling around the mall. And listen to life so you can make a life, not just a living.
