LIMITS. Write that down. Who do we need to accurately assess ourselves? Someone else.
Regular assessment is important because our limits regular vacillate. They change according to what is on our plate and our overall well-being. They depend on the season.
There are times in our lives in which we endure an intense amount of stress. These seasons cannot last long or we literally will breakdown. A psychotic break is the minds attempt at surviving enormous stress.
And we need someone to bounce ideas off. We need someone to be accountable. Good mentors help us identify blind spots. Just like in a car, we all have blind spots and unless someone else is telling what they see from the passengers spot, eventually we will get blind-sided by our own flaws and defects.
The Psalmist knew what he was feeling and engaged those feelings and the circumstances. He didn’t hide, deny, cover-up.
