Today I want to dive into the phrase I am certain many can relate to if they'll allow themselves to focus on this for a moment. Don't be afraid to admit this if it's true.
"Some folks die in offices one day at a time. They could live a hundred years but their soul's already dead. Don't let your spirit die before your body does."I was finally able to face the truth that this was me. I had let people, places, and circumstances kill me slowly. Oh sure, through leadership training and development I know the phrases to use that make this sound better: burnout, empty bucket, depleted, tired, worn, etc. But the bottom line is I had let others poison my spirit for far too many years.
I pray that if this resonates with you, you will reach out to someone and talk, contact me to chat, and/or take a day off and do something that restores you. You only get one you. You are special and unique. You have a purpose and a value. NOBODY gets to put you in a box or make you conform to their limits. If you resonate with this same phrase - get out of the job, get out of the rut, get out of the dating relationship, get out of the friendship. You know what's destroying your spirit. Please stop living as less than who you are.

One More Thing...
Please make a change if you need to so you won't look back with regrets of lost time later. I didn't make the changes soon enough. Trust me...make the change.
Take care, and I'm always here to pray for you if you have a need or request.
