Do Not Bite Off More Than You Can Chew

DO NOT BITE OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW.

We often tend to take more responsibilities than we are capable of carrying out. This is done to satisfy our ego. Know your limitations. Why take on additional loads that may create more worries? You cannot gain peace of mind by expanding your external activities. Reduce your material engagements and spend time in prayer, introspection and meditation. This will reduce those thoughts in your mind that make you restless. Uncluttered mind will produce greater peace of mind.

Exactly.
Many go beyond their means to get what they
 want mao na ang utang gikarga ug gilukdo
 or as the saying goes,
  "palabig bahug unya dili kahurot"  
sa mga amerkano pa kay,
  "People buy the things they don't need
   to impress the people they don't like"
   para panghambug

In reality, no material things that can impress me
 after all it will just burn and  cannot be used as
 passport to get into the kingdom of God.
