In The Grand Scheme of Things
Do you ever stop and think to yourself, how a few months or years ago, you were so stressed out about a particular thing, and now in hindsight, it just seems so trivial, and you’re wondering, “why was I so worried, it wasn’t even that deep”?
I read somewhere that “so much of what surrounds us is noise, distractions, impertinent things that don’t matter”, and we actually pour so much of our energy into these things, like they matter.
In the grand scheme of things, very little truly matters. That’s why it is important for us to take a beat, sit with ourselves and identify those things that do.
Ask yourself, “Is this really going to matter in a few weeks, months, or even a year from now?”.
When we do that, we can filter out the noise and give our energy to the things that truly matter.
All my love,
