Necessary and Important
Life has become so complex.
It is becoming increasingly difficult to understand what is necessary and important. Often what demands our attention is neither. Social media, I'm looking at you. And I'm completely guilty here. Probably more than many. Other things though can become a distraction to what is necessary and important.
What are some of the most important and necessary things? In no order, but for me here are some of them:
- family
- development (mental, spriitual, character, leadership)
- community
- work
I find myself fighting through more and more to get to the necessary.
It's a honourable fight though, getting through to the necessary and important is what matters. The other stuff doesn't matter. At least not more than for a brief instant. Do you remember what you posted on your social media a week ago? A month ago? A year ago? Likely not or possibly very little.
Don't feel guilty for ignoring the unnecessary and unimportant.
Do you remember that moment of character development for a year ago, a decade ago?
Remember those memories with your family and/or friends from a week, month or year ago? Most likely. Those are the necessary and important things.
