Daily Question, September 8

What really matters to me?

  • Amor fati

    Truth the reduction of suffering

  • jazzbythebay

    Making a difference in this world. Even if it’s something really small that I do for somebody else, doing something for other humans matters to me.

  • Zoe

    Peace. Inner Peace. Peace within my family. A peaceful walk in nature. Peace in the world.

  • Dawn Airhart Witte

    It is my highest calling to spread love and kindness wherever I go creating a ripple effect that I believe that can, and will change the world in the most beautiful way!

  • Verena

    waking up from the dream of separateness. kind action. the freedom in letting go.
    curiosity instead of expectation.
    the joy of openness without hoping

  • Maria

    becoming the best version of myself so I can help others do the same

  • Hot Sauce

    Doing what is right and what my purpose in life is is what matters to me. Whatever might be going on in any given moment, that is the goal I need to remember through it all.

  • TofuLove

    This moment.

    What really matters to me? So so many things. I am trying very hard to rid myself of things, thoughts, circumstances that do not matter to me anymore. I am trying to make more room for the many things that do matter to me, by letting go of things that make no sense anymore.
    Happy Blessed Sunday to All here…❤️🙏

    As I reflect on the career I have had over the past thirty years and I am working toward an early retirement this question swims around my head often. What really matters to me is a life that is simpler, that does not need so much. What matters to me is pursuing some adventuring with my wife, and teaching a meditation program part time in my community, spending time just being in nature. This would allow me to spend more time with just being and some time gratefully helping others see their own ...

    As I reflect on the career I have had over the past thirty years and I am working toward an early retirement this question swims around my head often. What really matters to me is a life that is simpler, that does not need so much. What matters to me is pursuing some adventuring with my wife, and teaching a meditation program part time in my community, spending time just being in nature. This would allow me to spend more time with just being and some time gratefully helping others see their own goodness. What truly matters to me is to continue to uncover the loveliness within.

    The interconnectedness of all things — becoming more and more aware of this reality, and acting more and more from the love that this awareness engenders.

  • Ed Schulte

    Few things matter much, most things don’t matter at all.

    Family, my cats, and peace. Oh, having fun, enjoying the holidays – can’t wait for Halloween!!!

    The fading hope of improving my character before it’s too late!

    Sometimes these daily questions are truly challenging. While many thoughts float through my head as I ponder my reflection to share for today's question, I struggle to formulate a concise general reply that I think best covers all of my immediate random thoughts -- the simple saying that is popping up right now for me is "doing it right", whatever the activity might be. The requirements to "do it right" and the outcomes achieved by "doing it right" for any something really matters to me. Thanks ...

    My relationship with God, and my family really matters to me! Seeing my daughter’s happiness and sucesses as she grows into a mature woman is dear in my heart. Her health and well being is important. My mother and her everyday wisdom and conversations is dear. Spesking with my father each day is important. Serving God is a great ideal. Hearing from my sibling is of a great value and his stories. Being close to God and improving the k e y points in my life matters through my family.

    All sentient beings matter. Love and truth really matter to me. Our beautiful Mother Earth matters because without her our sustainability is limited. So I pray we all do our individual parts to change our habitual tendencies toward grasping and aversion. Perhaps we could all find one small gentle habit we want to transform a week ? For me this week, I want to stop being distracted by worldly concerns like what other may or may not think of me. Instead I want to accept where I am at this pres...

    For me this week, I want to stop being distracted by worldly concerns like what other may or may not think of me. Instead I want to accept where I am at this present moment and shine my heart out with love and gratitude.
    Physically this will look like taking action to open my business again. I promise to do at least three things to work towards CorePeace.
    Ok, there, I can’t procrastinate or make up excuses. Like the quote of the day reminds us:
    “It takes courage to break through the masks we have co-constructed and speak from the truth of our hearts.”
    So I’m taking off the mask of- I’m not confident enough to allow myself to be hurt if someone criticizes my teaching or what I have to offer.
    I’m ready to share what I have leaned to the best of my abilities. A breath of courage and exhale let go of fear.

    • grateful sea

      Dear Antoinette, this is just to say that I “see” you there, shining. I applaud your courage and wish you the best this week in taking action towards re-opening your business. Your sharing has encouraged me to lower my own mask. Namaste.

    • Tom

      Antoinette, your message really speaks to me today. I am trying to stay focused on what really matters to me and your words mirrored some of my own struggles. I do not think we are alone in our journeys. Have a good day!

  • Sarah

    Finding peace.

  • Wiltrud

    Family, friendship, nature and recently my health…
    Of course there is more, just think of peace, sustainability, but where do we begin and end? So Kevin’s answer is wise;-)

  • Christina

    Happiness.
