Many of us have schedules cluttered with activities. Some of those activities feel like burdens, like onerous chores. Maybe we got into those commitments voluntarily – we thought that we would enjoy them, that we would benefit from them, or that they would be worthwhile.
But most of us have time commitments that are merely obligations. These are the things we believe we must do. Perhaps we have family commitments, things we promised our friends we would do, or activities we think will benefit our children.
It is hard to find peace in our lives when we spend time and energy on things we don’t find beneficial, things that we do merely out of guilt.
Clearing out the schedule-clutter is more difficult when we are doing things we feel we have to do. But it may be essential in order to have peace.
Today, look at your schedule and pick one thing you do from a sense of obligation. Does this activity add to your life?
