Fill Your Heart with What's Important.....

I had quite a bout of insomnia last night (nothing all that unusual) and really took some time to do some soul searching about a lot of different things.  There has been so much going on in my little world for the past week or so...life always seems to be throwing some kind of curveball.  I sat back and realized how silly we are as people.  We dwell on things that don't matter.  We KNOW that they don't matter... they are in the past, they are unchangeable, they are in the too far away future, they aren't necessarily things that will definitely happen anyway, etc. etc.  It's our human nature... and it's what is killing us.  I've thought alot about how much I worry about things I can't control.  That is taking away precious time from LIVING.  My goal is to try to start planning less and let things happen as they are supposed to happen, to stop worrying over things I can't control and just be in the moment. (Wasn't that my goal last month too?!?)  I'm going to expect nothing and appreciate everything.  This blog isn't going anywhere very fast.  I'm finding that my hours are filled lately with so much happiness that I don't take much time to write anything.  I have so much to be grateful for in my life right now. I saw this quote the other day and it just struck me:  "Fill your heart with what's important and be done with all the rest".  Oh, how much time I waste on things that are not important.  People that are not important (if that sounds harsh, I'm sorry.)  I'm choosing from this day forward to start focusing on what really matters in my life.  To stop being a people pleaser.  To learn how to say no sometimes. Then and only then will I truly be free from worrying about things I shouldn't.
