Emily Freeman, The Next Right Thing

[raewrites]

When I'm performing for my acceptance, burnout is always the result. [...] In my own life, I'm discovering that the subtle difference between my work feeling heavy and my work feeling light lies 100 percent on whether or not I'm holding on to the outcome of my work. When I trade all the effort I put into controlling outcomes with co-carrying the light, easy yoke of Christ, my small moments feel different.

And so we continue to uncover what makes us come alive. We are not searching to find something we don’t yet have, like treasure seekers with a map and a long journey ahead. Instead, we begin right where we are, like the tree planted firmly in place. We are not trying to become a better version of ourselves. Instead, we begin to uncover the person whom we have forgotten we already are.
