This week I've done a lot of reflecting on why we do what we do. We strive to be the best and to put forward our best work possible. We want others to see our strength, our ability to persevere. Yet - we work our hardest to not let others see our faults and also become our own worst critics in the process. For me personally, it seems that the harder I work and more harsh this "critiquing process" becomes, the harder I push myself, and the more stressed out I become. I push myself to the limit, start to feel overwhelmed, and then feel bad when I can't complete it all or do my best at everything. In order to balance this process I often try to take on something else. Why is that? Overall, I think it's going to be important for me personally to take a step back, recognize all the blessing I've been given, and draw on what gives me strength the most.

Dear God,
Please send Your blessings down upon me this day. Help me to see the beauty that surrounds me in this beautiful world you have create. Give me a heart of thankfulness and greatfulness, that I may always remember where all of life's good things come from. Amen.
