LiveSisterLive: Letting the Wrong Things Matter

Think about your day? Are you living for what really should matter?

How was your day Sister? Was everything you did worth it? Did it count toward adding something positive in your life or the life of someone else?  What did you miss out on today that should have mattered? A call to a friend, time with family or friends, a meetup, a good movie or book.

Problem with living life like it matters can sometimes be a matter of priorities. Sometimes the wrong things take up residence on our to-do list.  What should not be on or at the top can hold our life hostage.

I know a sister who is in grad school, and all her days have been consumed with getting the A's, so much so she is trying too hard to get something that other things in her life has gone to the way side.  She works, but has no time to do the things she used to do. No time for self can mean her self doesn't matter.

If she doesn't get an A, the worse that can happen is she'll get a B.  Either way she passes the course and her company gives her the reimbursement.  If the A is taking her  to places she needs to go than it might be worth the sacrifice.  But if it gets her what a B can, it might just serve her to study a little less, be less intense, and enjoy more of life and what matters.

This week, put your priorities under examination. Ask yourself if all your effort is worth it and does it matter? 

Have a week that matters to your life?
