In this fast paced busy world, it’s very easy to waste time, energy and focus on things that don’t matter.  We should consistently take inventory of our lives and make sure that we are focusing on the things that matter. God, Family and all of the other stuff… in that order.

We must evaluate our lives and decide whether or not the right things are getting the right focus.  Is God getting your focus?  Is your spouse getting your focus?  Are your kids getting your focus?  The big question is whether or not your job and worrying about what people think getting too much focus.

In the words of Gandhi, “Live as if you were to die tomorrow, Learn as if you were to live forever.”

Make the most of your today’s and tomorrow’s and learn how to Focus On The Things That Matter.

Thoughts?

    I think if I were to die tomorrow and I knew it I’d live differently, need to work on that one. Learning as if you were going to live forever, I’m ready to learn! I like the “focus on things that matter.” Love it all.

    The Word of God helps you renew your mind, and will in turn help you gain focus and prioritize better. Focus on God and the other things fall into order.

    I have wondering about this very thing in my life. My work is way to stressful, however I find it hard to let go. I put to much focus on it and I only work 15 hours a week!! I work with kids and way to often I find myself saying that I need stay for the kids. I have to put my trust (and FOCUS) in God and listen to HIM. Thanks for the reminder.
