Motivation Monday: Things That Matter, Things That Don't

On this early Monday morning, many people are thinking about how they still wish it was the weekend (I am almost always one of them, today included, as I sit in the airport headed back to Orange County after a nice weekend in SF).  We are very busy people.  There are a lot of things going on in our lives, both good and bad, fun and tedious, enjoyable and terrible.  There always have been, there always will be.

As I digest and consider some of the developments in my life over the last two weeks or so, I have found that there are simply things that matter and things that don't.  So when you are worried about something, mad about something, anxious about something, nervous about something ... think to yourself does it really matter?  When you think something is the end of the world, is it really?

I have been replaying this Rascal Flatts song in my head over the last couple of days and it really hits home the point.  So when something happens to you that puts you in a bad mood, or you are not having a good day for whatever reason, take a chance to give yourself some perspective … because there are things that matter and things that don’t.

Living life every day by reminding myself there are things that matter and things that don’t.
