1. Read the passage given below.
The choices we make on a daily basis—wearing a seatbelt, lifting heavy objects correctly or
purposely staying out of any dangerous situation—can either ensure our safety or bring about
potentially harmful circumstances.
You and I need to make a decision that we are going to get our lives in order. Exercising self-control,
self-discipline and establishing boundaries and borders in our lives are some of the most important
things we can do. A life without discipline is one that’s filled with carelessness.
We can think it’s a kind of exciting to live life on the edge. We like the image of “Yeah! That’s me!
Living on the edge! Woo-hoo!” It’s become a popular way to look at life. But if you see, even
highways have lines, which provide margins for our safety while we’re driving. If we go over one
side, we’ll go into the ditch. If we cross over the line in the middle, we could get killed. And we like
those lines because they help to keep us safe. Sometimes we don’t even realize how lines help to
keep us safe.
I’m not proud of this, but for the first 20 years of my life at work, I ignored my limits. I felt horrible,
physically, most of the time. I used to tell myself “I know I have limits and that I’ve reached them,
but I’m going to ignore them and see if or how long I can get by with it.” I ran to doctors, trying to
make myself feel better through pills, vitamins, natural stuff and anything I could get my hands on.
Some of the doctors would tell me, “It’s just stress.” That just made me mad. I thought stress meant
you don’t like what you do or can’t handle life, and I love what I do. But I kept pushing myself,
traveling, doing speaking engagements and so on— simply exhausting myself.
Finally, I understood I was living an unsustainable life and needed to make some changes in my
outlook and lifestyle.
You and I don’t have to be like everyone else or keep up with anyone else. Each of us needs to be
exactly the way we are, and we don’t have to apologize for it. We’re not all alike and we need to find
a comfort zone in which we can enjoy our lives instead of making ourselves sick with an overload of
stress and pressure
