Why is it, that something wild has to happen for you to check in with what really matters? Without fail, when something big happens like a massive life shift or some situation gut-checks you, it turns into this magnifying glass of your life and digging into what really matters comes to the surface.
When you sit back and think about it, you don’t need much. Only a few things really, truly matter to live a life that feels good. If you were at the bottom of the darkest basement of life, you’d realistically just really appreciate some food, a roof over your head and some warm clothes.
If you were given a few more options to make your life a bit better you’d maybe want someone to love you and love them back, a family around you for support and some money to sustain yourself.
If you were to look at your life now, most likely, you're absolutely not at the bottom of the barrel - I pretty much guarantee if you’re reading this you have food available to you, a roof over your head and a device to read this on - then it might be a good time to check on really what matters.
You might know the term “check yourself before you wreck yourself,” I think it’s from a movie or something trivial but it paints a pretty distinct picture: Don’t wait for something to happen for you to check in!
For me, having a tight famjam bond, fulfilling my life’s purpose in my work, creating my relationship in a way that feels really right and truly authentic to me and my person, and having friends that give a sh!t about themselves and the people around them are what really matter to me.
Guess how much control I have over anything else outside of these? None. Zero. Zip.
The key is, it has to be true to you. What really matters to me is no concern for you; You might appreciate it, but it has no bearing on you. What really matters to you is of the utmost importance and only for you to find.
You might already have life values and morals that you’re living into, or you might be creating a new set of your own. Bottom line with this: When you check in on what matters you are given a blatant reminder of things you get caught up thinking about, digging for answers, trying to figure out what happened or what’s happening right now or how to have more of what you don’t have and none of it matters.
At the end of the day when you put your head down to sleep and you know in your heart what’s right for you, that’s gold. Keep leaning into what really matters. You always know.
happy Sunday from Croatia,
