If we’re not wise, we come to the end of life realizing we’ve been
seduced by the tyranny of the urgent and non-important.
All to the expense and loss of the truly important.
What are the things that matter most to you?
Truth told it’s probably not your bank account or the money you make—these only matter for what you believe they’ll give you and do for you.
It’s probably not the size or type of house you live in—again, it’s what you believe the house will do for you or how it will make you feel.
It’s not the car you drive—again it might make you feel special or important to drive a certain car but it’s the feeling you’re after at the end of the day.
Your house, your car, your bank account and money have no intrinsic value.
Your true motivation is how you think these things will make you feel.
Feelings are free and continuously at your disposal and command.
What matters most when we get right down to it is the degree of happiness and fulfillment we experience.
Redemptive Leaders® understand this fundamental truth; and continuously focus on what’s truly important.
Read here how your willpower is likewise built by maintaining focus in the face of greater adversity.
What matters most is how much we experience love, laughter and appreciation of life.
What matters most is not something you can hold in your hand, put in the bank or touch.
What matters most are the intangible feelings we experience inside.
What matters most cannot be held in your hand, put in the bank, or touched.
What matters most are the intangible feelings we experience inside.
Things like:
- Resourcefulness
- Faith
- Courage
- Confidence
- Peace
- Connection
- Gratitude
- Appreciation
- And most of all, Love
There’s nothing in the external world that can give you the things that matter most… you must give them to yourself.
There’s nothing in the external world that can give you the things that matter
most—love, laughter, faith, courage, confidence, peace, connection, gratitude
and most of all love. You must give them to yourself.
This takes a great degree of Self-Awareness and Wakefulness to know that you’re more than physical appearances and experiences.
Easier said than done, right?
I’ve asked thousands of people all over the world, “If I could give you all the money in the world…
“Or give you infinite peace of mind regardless of what life throws your way.”
What would you choose?
Invariably hands go up for peace of mind.
Which would you choose?
It takes a large degree of Self-Awareness and Wakefulness to know
that you’re more than physical appearances and experiences.
When you can have peace, appreciation and fulfillment during a storm then you truly have something.
This takes a mindset that rises above physical appearances—no easy task.
It takes the mental toughness and emotional strength to keep moving forward and focusing on the good, God, and great in life.
Please understand that I’m not suggesting you live in denial. Far from it.
What I am suggesting is that you give a little attention to current circumstances and a lot of attention to your vision.
When you can experience peace, courage, appreciation and fulfillment
during a storm then you truly have something.
When you focus on the good, God, and great in life, life gives you the good, God, and great to focus upon.
When you focus on the Good, God, Great and life,
life gives you more Good, God and Great to focus upon.
To do this, you must break the chains of socialized mind. You must dig deeply into your own unresolved emotional issues and trauma to truly take your power back; and this is the Greatest of Work that a leader can do.
Be a Leader. Live Your Purpose; and Take Your Power Back!
