The first line in the best-selling book by Rick Warren, The Purpose Driven Life is "It's not about me."
In many respects this realization should help us to relax a little. If it's not about me, it must be about Someone bigger - it is - and He must have things under control - He does.
In Leading Blog, there is an interesting post about this. It reminded me of a quote I heard from a well-known football coach before his team was about to play in the Super Bowl. To try to lessen their nervousness and fear he said, "There are over a billion people in China who don't care whether we win or lose so just go out and play hard and have fun."
We tend to take life way too seriously, as if it is all about us. If we could all take the advice the coach gave his team, our lives would probably be a lot more fun...and productive.
