Trying to please people can be a misguided effort and wasted resources. Yes we want to understand expectations that others have of us or that come with our responsibilities but our aim is to please God and ourselves. To be satisfied with our contribution knowing that we did the best we could under the circumstances of the moment. No second guessing, no regrets, no shoulda, coulda, or woulda.
Pay attention to what brings you joy. Notice what gives you peace. And do what works. Resist what harms you by increasing your energy and time toward what gives you peace and joy. You will have less time and energy for what harms you. So it’s not just what you don’t do, you gotta do what works.
Do not take the challenges you meet today personally. Breath deep and be still before God before you respond. Nothing is coming at you that God and you can’t handle.
When you find yourself rushing, cutting corners, skipping steps or compromising excellence stop. Take a moment to pray and re-group. It can save you from having to repeat and re-do your work.
You got this! The tasks that are before you today are well within your capacity. Really is there anything to hard for you and God together! You got this.
