Day 27 - A problem that you have had.
Guess the biggest problem I've always struggled with is my stubbornness in trying to do everything by myself. Perhaps its due to my nature in having to have some kind of control over everything. Or my unwillingness to see that others are just as adept as me or even better. It's just hard for me to step back and let things get done by others. Especially when I see something not being done and I figure its just for the best and go to do the certain task, even though I may no longer be even responsible for it. Situations like that have given me at times the nickname of "Mom".
Now it's not a bad thing for me to be helpful, but it is bad that I put it upon myself to do all these tasks. Not seeking help and then ending up frustrated with myself when everything isn't done. Yea I know what you're thinking, stupid me. Just delegate right? Yea I guess, however when you delegate you want the task to be done and done right. There's trust involved there and that means me giving the delegated people a chance to prove themselves. I may be impatient so taking awhile just doesn't help your cause.
So as you can see it's still something I struggle with. However this school year has opened up my eyes to just not stress over everything. To have faith that things will be taken care of even when I'm not there. It does happen and at times negative reinforcement will eventually bring willing helpers to step up and forward.
Then in correlation to my own life, surrender is key. Worrying about what I'm gonna do just doesn't help me in any way. Letting God have the reigns is the only way to do things. Through Him, you can achieve anything.
All of us are just too afraid to let go.
However untie yourself from the reigns and let go.
You'll be surprised to see what happens. :-)
