It takes a lot to admit to yourself and others that 'you can't do it all'. Most see this as a sign of weakness when in reality it's quite the opposite. It requires courage to say," I need help".
The help that you could require might not always be physical, it can also be emotionally or spiritually. A lot of people associate spirituality with a certain religion. I believe that you can be of any faith and maintain a healthy level of spirituality. We are spiritual beings on a mortal journey, not mortal beings on a spiritual journey. I'm not sure if that is a quote by a specific person; if it's not I'm copyrighting that right now.
Our body is a vessel to help us complete our journey. We end up placing most of our worth into what our bodies can do, rather than what our spirits can do. We feel that if our body is broken our spirit is broken. Placing your hopes and dreams into your body won't get you anywhere. Placing it in your spirit will get you everywhere. If you encounter a trial that is crushing your spirit, you can take a time out. It's necessary for our salvation to nurture our spirits so we can maintain our strength. Take a day to gather yourself. Give yourself a pep talk and carry on your spiritual journey; despite what your mortal body may be telling you. Your quiet strength will silence the nay sayers. Choose to focus on what you can do spiritually not what you can't do physically.
