Start Mastering What Is Mastering You

Have you ever been to a café and had a waitress pour you a cup of coffee as she said,' tell me when'? If you don't tell her, ' when' she can pour until that cup overflows and coffee is all over the table. If you don't tell her ' when' you can end up with a mess. You have to learn how to say 'When.' People will keep dumping and dumping and dumping and dumping into your life unless you say ' No more'. Don't rely on others  to notice when your cup is filled
Know where you're physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Know what God is calling you to do. Know your limits.

Take a good look at the withdrawals and deposits of your time, energy, creativity, commitment, and resources. If there are more withdrawals than deposits, you're operating your life in the red, sooner or later, something is going to break, fail or fall apart. The damage may be to your health, to an endeavor you consider to be very important, or to relationships that you value highly. Making too many withdrawals and not enough deposits are going to leave you feeling ' bankrupt'
, empty, discouraged, and exhausted. You need to live a balanced life.

Balance is a learning process. We each have to learn to live in balance. The beginning of that learning comes with a recognition that we are triune beings - spirit, soul, and body. The spirit has a need for both taking in nourishment and giving out ministry. The mind has a need for both tranquillity and stimulation. The body has a need for both rest and exercise.
Take time to replenish what has been depleted in your life. At times we need to rest.

Let go of all the negativities and negative individuals in your life for they will drag you down. Don't let insecurity, envy, jealousy, and secret motives ruin the beauty you were born with and cut short your destiny in God. This is your life; you're responsible for it but you will give an account of it to God. Whatever disconnects you from God and His word is a risk! You can't choose God and become a loser. Stop living for things; start living for Him. I'm yet to see anyone who truly serves God and remains small, for your life becomes the expression of the one you serve and worship. For if you face God, the world will look for you. When God becomes your living focus, He makes you living evidence of His faithfulness.
