Doing To Much

Luke 10:42 but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."

Some people would feel they are living a diminished life if they did not live an over-committed life.

Constantly living like you are putting out "brush fires" is a lifestyle hurtful to you in a major way.

This kind of lifestyle becomes a dependent/co-dependent lifestyle when over-committing is done from a sense of weakness or powerlessness.

Even when weakness and powerlessness are not issues, some people lead a "too busy" life.

Piling up commitments in our life to the point where we run ourselves ragged is not helpful to us, to others, and is not a blessing to God.

To healthfully maintain our soul, we are to live in peace and harmony with God.

Over-committing is not a way to live in peace and harmony with God.

Having more things on our agenda than we can possibly do also takes away from our efficiency because we can easily miss doing what is important.
