How much of yourself is your job supposed to get? The danger is that I can spend my best energy being excellent at the work I'm paid to do, then arrive at the work I believe I'm supposed to build with whatever is left of me.

I want to do excellent work. But my job isn't the whole assignment.

Work, family, health, relationships, ministry, creativity, rest. They can all be good responsibilities. They cannot all receive maximum effort.

In this episode of Faithful Finisher, I'm wrestling with the difference between excellence and exhaustion, and the question ambitious people need to ask when we have to determine if "could" means "should":

What does faithfulness actually require here?

Give God all of you. Then let Him govern what each responsibility receives.
