Stop Bringing Scraps to Your Inner Circle

Daily Devotion:

 

Today, give your best self to those that matter. From the book, "Present Over Perfect" by Shauna Niequist, she recommends that we re-examine our top priorities in this simple exercise.

First, imagine you have an inner circle filled with family & your closets friends. Then, in your outer layer, fill this with acquaintances and coworkers.  Many times, we put our best foot forward at our jobs and out in the community.  Studies have shown we check our emails 11 times an hour.  We say, "Yes" to every request.  We smile.  We are kind.  We attend and support everyone around us.  When we return home, to the ones who matter the MOST to us, we are exhausted.  Many times we are giving scraps to the ones who matter the most to us.  Let's switch our circles and bring our best selves to those who matter the most to us.
