Daily Inspiration - Drop some rocks.

Drop some rocks. 

We live in a busy world. Often success is measured by how much we do, how busy we are, and how heavy the load is that we carry. Imagine that your job in life is to swim across a fast-moving river carrying a bag of rocks. People often fill their bags with too many rocks, including rocks that don't belong to them.  

Are you carrying other people's rocks? Are you doing all the work for the team at your job? Are you volunteering again because no other parent stepped up? Carrying more rocks than you need is risky. Carrying your rocks and everyone else's will sabotage your WLS recovery. 

Action for the day: In your journal today, make a list of the rocks in your bag -- your various responsibilities. Drop at least one of the rocks that doesn't belong to you.
