Breathing Room:
The Space between our current pace and or
limit.
We feel the pressure and stress and don’t
enjoy anything because we are doing
everything and we know everything isn’t
worth doing.

Your Time is a Gift from God and it’s limited
“Lord, you have been our dwelling place
throughout all generations -- Psalm 90:1
Before the mountains were born or you
brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are
God. -- Psalm 90:2
You turn people back to dust, saying,
“Return to dust, you mortals.”-- Psalm 90:3
“A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the
night.”-- Psalm 90:4
“Yet you sweep people away in the sleep of
death—they are like the new grass of the
morning. In the morning it springs up new, but by
evening it is dry and withered-- Psalm 90:5
“Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass,
and we fly away”-- Psalm 90:10
“If only we knew the power of your anger!
Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your
due”-- Psalm 90:11
If we could see God as he is, we would give him the reverence he is due
If we could see God as he is, we would be more careful with the time we
have been allotted.
“Teach us to number our days so that we may
gain a heart of wisdom”-- Psalm 90:12
Remembering our time is limited provides us with wisdom to know
how to spend our limited time.

I wish I hadn’t worked so hard
“This came from every male that I nursed. They missed their children’s
youth, and their partners companionship. Women also spoke of this regret, but as most were from
an older generation, many of the female patients had not bee bread
winners. All of the men I nurse deeply regretted spending so much
of their lives on the treadmill of work existence” – Bronnie Ware

I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true
to myself—not the life others expected of me
“This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their
life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how
many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honored even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices
they had made, or not made. Health brings a freedom very few realize
until they no longer have it.” – Bronnie Ware
