Warp Speed or Blow Out
Warp Speed or Blow Out
Life is measured by how fast and how much we can get done in a short period of time! Urgency is all around. We are a society of instantaneous results. We no longer wait weeks for mail, when we can get an e-mail in seconds. Speed sometimes destroys quality of work and quality of life.
I often hear people say that they love living life this way and my favorite "a little stress is good for everyone." While these maybe true for some... the reality is that there is a cost for life in the fast lane.
We are literally burning ourselves out faster and faster every day. If we are burning ourselves out we are not able to be all that God calls us to be. Stress and too much activity can destroy you and leave nothing for God to use.
Do you know how to identify burn out? People who are burned out display some of the following attributes:
1) chronic fatigue
2) quick to anger - short fuse
3) low productivity
4) may withdraw from friends or family
5) may seek escape through addictions such as alcohol, illness, or absenteeism
You don't have to live life in the fast lane any more.

Every day, we live life at the speed of light. We are literally flying by the seat of our pants! Up at 5:30AM - out the door by 6:30AM. Coffee is our only sustenance. We work through lunch... and then out the door by 5PM on our way to gulp down dinner and then on to evening activities with our church or children. Life becomes a blur - Monday turns into Monday, Weeks fly by into Months and before you know it another Year has arrived.
