This has been one common trend in my life and probably my biggest weakness. It is something I am trying to work through, becoming better at it sometimes, and then sometimes I still suck at it.

So the other day, I realized that I needed to sit down again and figure out my priorities. Without even realizing I had picked up these little weights all over my shoulders that were from the people I was around and the things I was apart of. Without realizing it, I felt responsible for other peoples pains, problems that are not my responsibility, and wasn’t spending time worrying about my own problems and my own family.

I realized that some things I am inclined to worry about take intentional thinking in order to surrender them back where they belong-in God’s hands. Some things I care deeply about and it takes divine sensing and instruction in order to realize my responsibility is not to worry about it.

I need his instruction in order to have the weight of my responsibility to actually be the things I am supposed to be focusing my attention.

Here are some things to think about:

• Keep Your Focus on what is Most Important for Your Life
• Allow Other People to Be Responsible for Their Own Decisions, Just Like You Are Responsible for Yours
• Realize You Can’t Do Everything, but You can do a few things really well
• Ask God about how to schedule your responsibilities.
