Loving Monday: What Matters? Your Choice
There’s a lot on your plate.
There usually is.
Of all that is clambering for your attention, what matters today?
What matters in general, sure, but more pertinently, what matters enough to get you to put everything else down?
It comes down to choices. It’s nice to identify many things as important. It’s nice to have deep convictions, core values, and clear priorities.
But when all is said and done (or, said and said again, more commonly), a choice needs to be made.
The choice to apply my efforts to something in particular and to do it now.
Questions of convictions, values and priorities are only meaningful and helpful to the extent that they help us make choices.
In fact, the question might better be asked the other way around: “What have you chosen to do today?” The answer to that question points to what your true convictions, values and priorities are.
If today matters, (and I am assuming that it does), then we need to start making choices before the day slips through our fingers.
What does your current choice tell you about what matters to you? If not consistent with your convictions, values and priorities, what adjustment might you make?
Think about it maybe a little, but more importantly make your next choice. Today matters.
On your side,
