Don't let IT consume You

I'll be the first to admit that I put my heart into what ever I make up my mind to do. That is because I am a passionate person. So what I suggest in this particular post is easier said than done, but it is doable. I am learning that I have to be able to separate myself from what IT is that I am working toward. Not meaning that I stop pursuing IT, but that I keep my ambition subjected and not become subject to my ambition. This is a very difficult pill for ambitious people to swallow because it goes against the grain of our mental make up. Often times we let what we are working on or towards take over our lives. We live, sleep, and eat IT. Our families and relationships suffer as a result and when we do accomplish what we were working toward, we are only left with IT. The we find that IT wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Then we are off pursuing another IT to fill the void that the previous IT could not. This is a very dysfunctional cycle that many people pursuing greatness get caught up in. So it is wise to put IT in its proper place. God and family come first because all the ITs of the world will never be able to touch the part of the mind, heart, and soul that the aforementioned can.
