How much of it really matters anyway....

It doesn’t really matter anyway... right?

I race around on a daily basis..making ends meet, catching up on visits, friends, work, deadlines, meetings and so on and so forth but sometimes when I stop and reflect I wonder.... how much does it really matter. I mean don’t get me wrong. There is stuff we have to do. We have the choice and we do have lives, commitments to fulfil but how much of the excess could we avoid and what impact would it have on our quality of life and wellbeing?

Do all the phone calls, the chat, the gossip, the feuds, really matter? What is so bad, so wrong that we cannot forgive? What is so important that we carry grudges through days, weeks, years and a lifetime?

Does having a huge mortgage, surviving the credit crunch, having the latest designer shoes really matter at the cost of our health running ourself to the ground. At worst in this country we never have to starve and have more than most! I want to 'be', to live and see my world. Not pass through blindly chasing castles in the air......

So the reality is that the past has passed, the future isn’t even here yet so we have the here and now. So let’s just live in the moment and make it count, be true to ourselves and those around us. We don’t know how many tomorrows we have but we have today and you know, no matter what ...today is an experience, a lesson, a blessing.

Because really at the end of the day.......how much of it all really matters anyway...........!!!
