Daily Question, March 20

How might I clarify what matters most?

  • Kylee

    To me having honest conversations about what is important to me and saying them aloud or writing them down is helpful.

  • Blossom

    not forgetting who I am

  • Malag

    This is a good opportunity to look at my values and see are there any significant actions I could take in progression of them

  • Love Abundantly

    When I think of the end I get perspective. When I question when I am the happiest I discover what matters the most to me. When I ask myself when I feel my most healthiest it tells me what’s most important

  • ADP

    Slowing down and gaining a clear head helps to distinguish what matters most in life. Taking time to focus on the things that matter most will help clarify what things matter most in each of our lives.

  • William

    To just stop and take a deep breathe and sit in silence with God. As I do that I realize that love, peace, joy and forgiveness is what matter most.

  • Charlie T

    It seems there are only a few things that really matter. Like a meditation, I gently reminding myself, coming back again and again, I attempt to shed the noise and clutter. Reading through these reflections was quite clarifying. Love, kindness, and being in the present moment, rise to the top.

  • Hot Sauce

    I can clarify what matters most by paying attention to ancient religious teachings and current spiritual teachings based on direct experiences of the divine to see what they have to say about what is most important in life.

    I’ve been wondering that myself, as my old brain fails me again and again. I thought it was Monday today .. 🙁

  • Antoinette

    What matters most is peace and love. Love and peace clarify it all!

  • Marnie Jackson

    By looking at what I worry about the most or what interactions trigger me the most and why they do so…..I can then work backwards to see what matters to me. It is a long, messy process.

  • Chester

    I’ll avoid the depths of philosophical contemplation and stay at the surface, the immediate, the here and now. Here, now to clarify what matters most, I must pause, I must not be overtaken by the reflex reactions that attach to the sequence of events leading to now. I must pause and genuinely consider what matters most, now.

    The word of the day:
    Each day I move toward that which I do not understand. The result is a continuous accidental learning which constantly shapes my life.

    This just spoke to my heart and this is where I linger.

    • William

      This quote definitely spoke to my heart also and made me just stop and ponder.

    • pkr

      This quote also resonated deeply with me Alara.

      • alara

        I’m still there eight hours later and still in awe.

    • Mica

      They are delightful words, aren’t they, alara?

  • Mary Pat

    I agree with many here that love is the most important, and is a consideration in all matters.
    Beyond that, meditation really does help me to hear what matters at that particular time, in that particular moment. Journaling is also a valuable tool I use. And I find waiting…just waiting is also another valuable tool. Sometimes just giving space and patience is all that is needed…it depends on the situation…

    I know what matters most – LOVE
    Love is God. Love is our true nature. Love is what we share with family and friends and everyone for that matter. LOVE

    Today’s my wedding anniversary, so I am celebrating love with my husband! Love is the greatest gift.

  • Ose

    To love. To love all. And to be open to all. This is a beautiful day! Greetings and blessings to all who share and who visit here, and beyond.🙏🌈💕

  • Michele

    No need for clarification – what matters most is family.
    Happy Spring Equinox everyone🌷🌼🌻🌱

    • Mica

      Spring Equinox – thank you for the reminder, Michele – and my younger granddaughter’s birthday dinner – Family! 🙂

    Without a doubt or hesitation - freedom. The great reset (as some refer to it as) that is happening, seems to me to be about taking freedom away or perhaps exerting controls over our lives that have not been seen before in the history of humanity. My greatest freedom is my volition - the freedom to make day-to-day decisions. Decisions around how I choose to show up, the work that I do, the way that I live, how I interact with my environment, how this life unfolds and blooms, how the Divine ex...

    Without a doubt or hesitation – freedom. The great reset (as some refer to it as) that is happening, seems to me to be about taking freedom away or perhaps exerting controls over our lives that have not been seen before in the history of humanity. My greatest freedom is my volition – the freedom to make day-to-day decisions. Decisions around how I choose to show up, the work that I do, the way that I live, how I interact with my environment, how this life unfolds and blooms, how the Divine expresses through me. That is what matters most right now. I also call it “seeing what is”.

      yes, freedom at last, to know beyond knowing and not identifying with anything else, it just is

  • Kevin

    Sometimes I find it helps to write down what matters most, then let it settle, or rest for a period of time. Other times I take it to prayer, or speak with my wife about it. Heck, I’ve even talked to our dog, Gracie, about what’s pressing on my mind while we’re out for walk.
