Rick Chollet was a financially successful entrepreneur until March 18, 1991. He had even been the president of Brookstone Company, a small mail order business that he transformed into a national retail leader selling products for craftsmen.
But on March 18, he locked the garage door of his New
Hampshire house, climbed into his BMW & turned on the engine. He left
behind a note that read, “Please forgive me, but the thought of going through
the torture of living is just too much to bear.”
Some successful entrepreneurs have a fear that they won’t be
able to reproduce or sustain earlier achievements.
Gerald Kraines, a psychiatrist who treated him, said,
“They’re on a treadmill where they can never savor their success, because they
have to keep working harder.”
Many Christians feel the same way. They think that they must
keep working harder for the Lord & forget to spend time with Him.

Rogers.
Luke 16:15 (CEV): But Jesus told them: “You are always
making yourselves look good, but God sees what is in your heart. The things
that most people think are important are worthless as far as God is concerned.”
