I first heard the Broken Dreams poem during Rev. Dr. Lorraine Cohen and Rev. Anita Pathik Law’s Aligning with Destiny course (which I highly recommend by the way) and loved it immediately and hope you do too:
Broken Dreams
As children bring their broken toys
With tears for us to mend
I brought my broken dreams to God
Because He was my friend
But then instead of leaving Him
In peace to work alone
I hung around and tried to help
In ways that were my own
At last I snatched them back and cried
”How could You be so slow?”
”My child” He said, “What could I do?
You never did let go?”

Overwhelm makes you feel like it’s motivating you to be efficient but really it’s a state of being that stems from fear. You are being driven by a fear of a negative consequence of some kind, and your focus is solely on the outcome, which takes the joy out of the process. Remember, it’s not just about the destination but the journey.
