It is good to work wholeheartedly and diligently.
However, do not become so consumed with the success of your project
that you become blind to the needs around you. I'm not saying to allow yourself
excuses to not complete things. But don't neglect to offer help where it can be used.
Is it not better to ensure the success of everyone, including yourself, rather
than focus only on your own goals, leaving others to their worries alone?
In your hour of need, when time is at your heels, your kindness may be rewarded
by the very same you helped before.
Don't expect this though, as you will find yourself sorely disappointed
when others do not complete your work for you.
I've seen this in myself, and if this is the only revelation I obtain in my life, it
will not have been in vain.
Lord open my heart to the suffering of others. Allow me the sight to know when
to look closely at those around me, and the strength to support them.
