I had a great discussion with an individual recently. We discussed a very interesting question: "What if it just didn't matter?"
Have you noticed at times how much we make something matter? Perhaps we get too caught up in an expectation. Are trying really hard to achieve a goal. Want someone to really understand what we are talking about, because it's "really important."
And sometimes it matters so much to us that it actually becomes a problem, and we start experiencing all kinds of stress, struggle...and pain. And sometimes it matters so much that eventually...it just doesn't matter.
What if it just didn't matter, though, from the beginning? What if you approached everything in your life with a spirit of freedom, joy, and passion instead. Just went out there - in your job, your family... in the world - and just lived fully. And focused on that - instead of "making it matter."
I've seen people care about something so much that they try to force it on other people. I bet you could see an example of that on tonight's news. Or in your workplace tomorrow. Or maybe even in your marriage. Just see if you can spot it.
So, give it some thought. What if - instead of making it (whatever "it" is) matter so much - you just focused on living life to the full. Putting your passion and energy into what you are doing with a spirit of freedom and joy. And let the rest go.
It's a possibility worth considering.
