Spread Too Thin
We came across this thought just the other day:
"How thin can you spread yourself before you are no longer there?"

In reality, when you spread yourself too thin, you ARE no longer there. You are typically not available to others at a moment's notice. It is difficult to add random acts of kindness or charity to your routine. Events that are important but not urgent don't get added to your lineup. Things start to fall through the cracks.
Once again, you can't juggle elephants. Make a conscious effort to focus on what matters most. Leave some time for yourself, for those that are important to you and for those events that bring fulfillment to your life.
