What's Important?

Some place importance on money, some power, and yet others place power on material items. The problem is that this is what society has taught us. Then there are others that are caught in a blackhole and feel that importance is in those who pay attention to them and the more people they can get to notice them, the more powerful they are. Lastly, some see power in being authentic, knowing yourself, taking care of yourself and loving other people. It is amazing what people will do to gain the first two segments of the population.

No one seems to be content in what their life is. They blame other people for their own mistakes or for what their life is at that moment. Why? Quite frankly, our lives were going well but we felt we needed more so we added a few things to our lives and turned a blind eye to what would truly fulfill our lives. Now, we must continue down the path we have chosen and see it through - there is no turning back. Why did this happen to us? We are supposed to open to the world of possibilities, miracles, and know that life is truly important. Yes, we are but we are also human - we forget our way when we see the neon signs and blinking lights beckoning us to leave our path - even if only for a little while. Sometimes people can find their way back to the path, sometimes people have to make their own new paths, and sometimes they get stuck in a grove of thorns. Thankfully, we will find our way back to that original path but we are now stuck on a detour for a few months to get back there. We don't know what else will come up during this detour but we pray that we will be able to without injury to our mental, physical, and spiritual selves. All we can do is follow this path and do so following the love in our hearts. It is that love and the appreciation of it that is truly important.
