Over the last week or so, I have spoken to several people
that expressed the feeling of giving up.
They are tired of trying, tired of fighting, tired of figuring, tired of
believing, and as my older relatives would say: “Tired of being tired!” People trying to run their race, while caring
the weight of financial issues, business issues, family issues, marriage
issues, boss issues, work load issues, friend issues, career issues, health
issues, car issues, loneliness issues… you get it. Issues!! We all have them
from time to time, but sometimes we face chronic issues. Chronic issues can make the best of us want
to quit.
You Can Rest, But
Quitting is Not An Option!
We as humans must realize that taking a week, day, hour, or
a minute to rest from our labor is written in our individual maintenance manual!
Somehow we allow ourselves to think that quitting is our only option and
resting is not an option! You can rest!!
Athletes rest during competition.
Soldiers rest in time of war. GOD rested on the seventh day! I will say
again- You Can Rest!!
For those of you workaholics, worryaholics, controlaholics,
and fearaholics, rest is defined by Merriam-Webster as “freedom from activity
or labor”.
So sleep in or take a walk! Read a book or play a game! Call
a funny friend or wash your hair! Go fishing or watch cartoons! Listen to music. Here are a couple of The Xhorter favorites:
Quitting Is Not An
Option!!
