"El-Shaddai," Watch it; Else, "You-Shall-Die"!

A says: Give me this

B says: Do this for me

C says: Follow me here

D says: I need your help with this

E to Z say: I want to share this with you

But nobody is saying to you:

• Take this

• I'll do this for you

• I'll come with you

• I can help you with that

• I am here; you can talk to me

Then you are burned out, drained, exhausted, tired. But because you think you are El-Shaddai, you keep giving and giving, until "You-Shall-Die" (credit to Rev Sam Adeyemi).

Here is the deal:

Take it slow. Take it easy. Take care of yourself. Find what relaxes you and indulge in it. Take a break from the ups and downs. Meditate. Exercise. Drop everything and go to bed. Eat well. Exhale.

Know that when you are not there, all those needs will be met and the people will live; they will survive.

You are not the answer to everyone's questions. Relax and take care of yourself if you would not step back enough to be taken care of.

You are not El-Shaddai! Don't die trying to be one!

The muse to this writer: "Yinmu! Physician, what was said that you should do to yourself?"

Then it finishes off with a bombastic side eye😒
