I do a lot. I know it. I've been told I do too much. I don't know why I do so much...it is instinctive for me. I might have been one of those children that didn't want to go to sleep "for fear she might miss something", as the saying goes.
Life is all too short, and so I have no problem saying yes to things I want to do. I'll find the time. I'll make the time. I always do. There is still plenty I will miss. I simply can't do everything, so I will do what I can.
Edward Everett Hale said, "I am only one , but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. And because I cannot do everything I will not refuse to do the something that I can do." This is often attributed to Helen Keller, who famously quoted it.
While doing, it is still a good idea to monitor the level at which doing so much crosses the line into overwhelming. I have had such episodes and have had to back off a bit to recreate balance. Remember the see saw?
This is how my spirit was created, and I will live it the way it was given to me.
Some spirits are slow and langourous, some are quick and frenetic, and so many other combinations. What is your spirit?
