"It is not good to eat much honey, or to seek honor on top of honor."(Proverbs 25:27)
So can there be too much of a good thing? The answer is obvious, yes there can be. Honey is certainly a great sweetener, good as a natural remedy. But I suppose eating the whole jar can be problematic. Think of Winnie the Pooh, too much honey and he got stuck in the hole.
Most of life's good things, when taken in excess usually lead to problems. Even when we think we're doing something for the right reasons we can overdo it and turn it into a negative.
Same is true for accolades. While it is certainly great to be recognized for a job well done, exactly how many trophies, testimonials, titles does one really need?
A life lived in moderation is one where all the good things in this world may be enjoyed. To find that balance in life where I find what is just right is what I constantly seek.
Blessings,
