What happens is that individual is bound to fall into a strange emotional, psychological, spiritual or even social paralysis. There is this constant nagging feeling like there is so much to be dealt with, but impossible to get it all done. I have a huge future ahead of me. In fact, some days I'd wager to say that I have more crap to deal with than I think I can handle. Maybe you are in the same boat with me in some ways.
Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

Now even though these passages refer to things like food, clothing, etc., I think it has some basic truths behind it that apply to feeling overwhelmed about all the things that we think we need to change about ourselves. I think those things will be taken care of. Before I launched into the freelance world of being self-employed, I had this really lame job working for the State of Minnesota. Lame as the job was and horrid as my relationship with my boss may have been, the Lord taught me something rather valuable through a man who described himself as a recovering alcoholic.
