One day you’ll look back and realize that you worried too much about things that don’t really matter.

What truly matters in life?

We are so continuously fretting about minutia, as to obfuscate the variables that ultimately define our limited run here on planet earth.

We can spend a percentage of our lives allowing these variables to dominate our thoughts, and literally steal the most precious resource we have in the process… time.

Our time is the finite variable that encapsulates all else. It fences in our life structure and is allotted to us on a second by second basis.

Looking at our world through that simple filter may prove to be one of the most potent of all stimuli in life.

For once we are back to measuring what percentage of our time is going to be allocated to the distress, dysfunction and dismay that our minutia variables cause us in our daily existence, we may best be able to gauge whether or not the time spent in those frames of mind is truly worth what it is costing us.

Would we not be considerably more wise to accept that we will work out each of those variables, and enable ourselves to discharge the accompanying anxiety and stress that are omnipresent during those moments?

Instead, if we were able to peacefully compartmentalize those thoughts in such a manner that we are not remaining oblivious to their importance, but instead, we are putting them into a prioritization matrix in which their value on impacting our overall frame of mind is ranked and their ability to continuously dominate our brainwaves is reduced in direct correlation to how truly important those variables are in the grand scheme of things.

Our lives provide continuous feedback in the sense that as we grow and reflect back on the chapters which have already transpired, we can remember how certain variables were so troublesome at a key moment in our lives and how minimal that seems to us from this current vantage point.

To presume that we will live a life free of anxiety and stress is naive, but to assume that we can learn from how those past moments played out in our lives and use that knowledge as the launching pad for our improving our ability to control our own brainwaves and diminish the relative weight that those stressors are causing, liberates us such that we might be all the more happy, as a general result.

Happy Sunday!
