It's Not Your Job To Fix All The Problems Of The World

Some of us are, by nature, very strong and responsible and we expend tremendous effort attempting to make sure things in life go well for ourselves and others. This can be good, up to a certain point.

But occasionally the strong, dependable, responsible types may try to take on more than they can handle. They may try to fix things they cannot fix. They may take on worries and burdens they do not need to carry.

I’ve discovered that even strong, dependable, responsible types can crash trying to do more than they are called to do.

So occasionally, the strong, dependable, responsible types need to be reminded of this:  It’s not your job to fix all the problems of the world. It is not your job to make everyone happy and satisfied. You are not God and God is not expecting you to be God.

Do what you have been called to do. That’s enough.
