“Whenever I don’t like something about my life, I have to assume I am the problem–not the world. There is something I don’t understand, either about myself or how people work, so I start reading, praying, and asking questions. I seek out advice, then shut up and listen to what people say; I don’t make excuses for why my situation is special. It’s not.”

“We must constantly wrestle with the question: How much of what I’m struggling with is mine to carry? You can’t take too much responsibility for what is truly your responsibility. But taking responsibility for what isn’t your responsibility leads to frustration and feeling overwhelmed.”

“When you feel the weight of relational tension, frustration, or irritation in yourself or from others, it’s a sign that you may need to change some priorities to make sure you’re only carrying what you need for this stage of your journey. In a strange way, tension can actually become a gift that helps you properly prioritize what’s most important in this season.”
