9 Ways To Stop Trying So Hard

Most of us grow up being taught that we need to “Try Harder” and that phrase ‘Try Harder” becomes part of our “Work Hard, Try Harder and Get er’ Done” value system.  I would argue that many times people need to Stop Trying So Hard.  Below are 9 Ways To Stop Trying So Hard:

1. Stop trying so hard to let everyone know that your the leader… be the leader.
2. Stop trying so hard to show people how much you know… be knowledgeable.
3. Stop trying so hard to let your wife know that you’re in charge… be in charge.
4. Stop trying so hard to keep up with the Jones’… be the Jones’ (it’s not about the stuff).
5. Stop trying so hard to do the church thing… develop a relationship with Christ.
6. Stop trying so hard to show your children that your a good parent… be a great parent.
7. Stop trying so hard to find Mr./Mrs. Right… be Mr./Mrs. Right.
8. Stop trying so hard to try so hard!
9. Stop trying so hard to fit in… stand out.

We need to stop trying so hard to fit in, and embrace the fact that God has made each and every one of us to stand out.  Stop trying so hard to stand in… Go Stand Out!
