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 do also takes away from our efficiency because
we can easily miss doing what is important.
