I can encourage it with tidiness which is a physical kind of silence. Clutter is a ‘look’ that I grew out of in my thirties. So much fell between the cracks and hid under the cushions of my crowded daily life and ended up in the back of the sock drawer of my consciousness. So I have become a periodic purger of life’s detritus that accumulates like barnacles on the hull of a ship slowing it down.

Clutter is a ‘look’ that I grew out of in my thirties. So much fell between the cracks and hid under the cushions of my crowded daily life and ended up in the back of the sock drawer of my consciousness. So I have become a periodic purger of life’s detritus that accumulates like barnacles on the hull of a ship slowing it down. Nothing much gets ‘saved for later.’ I no longer fall for my own plea that I ‘might find this useful someday!’. Nope. I don’t toss so much as gift, but it is out, and I like seeing the back wall of my closets in real life and in my mind. COVID, and its accompanying contractions on my activities and income have done the equivalent. No spontaneous purchases and unnecessary expenses. I am running a tight ship. So prioritizing and focusing allow me to maintain a sight line on my true personal values and goals.

Having achieved this clutterless sort of clarity briefly, I’m now weighed down with the ballast (to sail this metaphor beyond the sight of the shore) belonging to my wife and kid. 2 Reply Becca1 year agoBeccaI can get quiet and ask the Divine to assist me in aligning with divine will. With full faith that as before, I will be ok and that I will become aligned with my higher purpose even if it is in unexpected ways. I have to trust myself, my inner and outer resources, and my past track record of being self sufficient and proactive. I must get in touch with loving kindness and this will always lead me to the conclusion that my loved ones are the most precious aspect of life and I must prioritize them...I can get quiet and ask the Divine to assist me in aligning with divine will.

I have to trust myself, my inner and outer resources, and my past track record of being self sufficient and proactive. I must get in touch with loving kindness and this will always lead me to the conclusion that my loved ones are the most precious aspect of life and I must prioritize them over all else, while also remaining true to my life path. I cannot prioritize money over love. This is clear to me. I just have to get quiet and this becomes very very clear.

My intentions are to be compassion and loving kindness. The intention to walk with gratitude each moment no matter what happens. What matters most is understanding and connection to each and every being. What matters most is to see that we all want love and happiness. Just like you- I am 7 Reply devy1 year agodevyWhat matters most? I believe what matters most is what is best for everything that is alive. We all come from the same cosmic makeup. Because everything is interconnected, it is important that we take in consideration the fact that whatever we do, affects the world around us. Thus, if what we do only is for personal gain for no concern for anything else than that is dangerous to everything. What matters most is to ensure that what we do is what is good for all. 5 Reply Gregoire1 year agoGregoireHow might I clarify what matters most? We clarify what matters most by the lens through which we perceive the world. Looking at my Brother's comment below, if we look at the political system in the USA honestly, we see problems and want to blame them on one side. However, both have had the chance to solve, world peace, immigration, social injustice, poverty, pollution, etc.. All are equally guilty.

We clarify what matters most by the lens through which we perceive the world. Looking at my Brother’s comment below, if we look at the political system in the USA honestly, we see problems and want to blame them on one side. However, both have had the chance to solve, world peace, immigration, social injustice, poverty, pollution, etc.. All are equally guilty. Black live matter but Black Lives Matter is an organization that supports any means to achieve their goals including violence. What matters is truth, not our truth, the truth that is set forward by God. When we look at what matters to us through the lens of what matters in our relationship to God we have perspective. Looking through this lens we gain clarity on our own aspirations. What matters to God should first be the thought. Does this bring me closer to God or does this thought or action stand between me and my relationship with God? If we seek truth we find the answers behind our emotions. In seeking clarity in our own heart we must first consider “What is truth?”, Pontius Pilot.

It’s a balancing act, no doubt, yet when I kinda sorta find the balance, it sustains me in such a deeply satisfying way. 4 Reply Kevin1 year agoKevinHow and to what extent that I clarify a matter depends entirely on what that matter is. For example, if you ask me to clarify my positions on certain politicians in my country, I will ask you first, “How much time do we have?” If you ask me to clarify my reasons for wearing a mask, I’d ask, “Are you serious? Just wear one!” 7 Reply « Previous 1 2 My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
