Sometimes a sense of duty becomes the sacred cow that we can not release and which blocks us from our joy and our true purpose. If that which we feel duty-bound to do is beyond our reach, or if it causing us to be negative, perhaps we should take a clear look to determine if it is really a duty or just a sacred cow.
Confusion of Duties
It cannot be your duty to do anything that sacrifices your own integrity or your own spiritual development.
It cannot be right to be hurried, or sad, or discouraged, or angry, or resentful, or antagonistic, under any circumstances.
If you have not time for prayer and meditation, you will have lots of time for sickness and trouble.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this the the whole duty of man (Ecclesiastes 12:13).
