What is The Most Important Thing Right Now?

The To-Do-List! Never ending errands, cooking dinner, doing laundry, paying bills.  The list of things to get done never ends and it never will.  So it’s vitally important to ask yourself what is the most important thing right now?  In almost all cases, it’s not washing the clothes, going to the post office, answering the hundreds of emails in your inbox.  It’s BEING, not DOING.  It’s taking note of who you are BEING. It’s asking yourself are you actually living or just going through the motions of life?

I’ll be the first to admit there are many days that I run through my to-do list, hoping that if I get them all done, I’ll feel a sense of accomplishment. Some of the things on my to-do list are important, and when I get them done, I do feel a sense of satisfaction. But what’s always important right now, for me, is to be present, to enjoy the weather of the day, to be grateful, to pay attention to the beauty that surrounds me, to feel my spiritual connection to all there is, to be of service.

If today were my last day, would I spend it marking off my check list of tasks? No. Would you? NO!  I would spend it BEING with our loved ones, BEING in the moment, feeling the Oneness, we would move, breathe and have our BEING. I tend to forget this when I get caught up in things to do. 

For example, two days ago I spent over 4 ½  hours just to get 2 things done that I thought would take me 15 minutes.  I got very frustrated. After 3 hours on the first task, I asked my sister for help. Thank you LaVerna!  The last hour I spent doing 15 takes of my F Word Friday - F Words that inspire. It usually takes me 5 minutes to get it done. But the dog was barking in the back, the garbage truck was making noise in the front, I kept making mistakes.  I finally stopped to ask myself what was really important right then?  I shared with God that what was important to me in that moment was to uplift or inspire at least one person through the video I was doing. I finished the video. It wasn’t perfect, but I was sincere in my intention to be of service.  I got some wonderful feedback from one of the people who watched it. She said it really made a difference.  That is what really matters.

The video was on faith by the way and it was a good one.  I invite you to check it out, because maybe that is the most important thing for you right now.
