One of my weaknesses (I have many) is getting too focused on things that don't really matter. Recently someone said to me, "Sounds like you have too many irons in the fire."

Without thinking, I often emotionally attach myself to arguments or situations that drain energy and time from the most important activities and people in my life. Be careful not to get caught up in the thick of thin things. If you are feeling stressed and spread too thin, take a breather and get back to the basics.
