Do you overfill your cup? I do. Whether it is coffee or tea, most of us fill our mugs completely full.

The good thing about a full mug is we get more. The bad thing is we are forced to move slowly and we usually get burned.

Alternatively, we can leave extra space at the top of our mug. Yes, we get a little less to drink, but does that really matter? We are going back for more anyways. When you have this extra space in your cup, you have the choice to move faster and not get burned.

Is your life full? Do you know it does not have to be that way? You can choose another way.

When you overfill your mug or your life, you have to move slower. You get burned.

However, you can choose to add more space in your life. This margin gives you the option of moving faster. You also are free to not get burned as easily.

What do you need to remove from your life in order to have extra space?
