Consider What Matters
GOD
I suspect one thing that matters is your faith in God, that He is in charge of what happens on earth without dwelling on the fact that He allows evil to prevail through agency and choice, and that He will protect and guide you.
FREE SOCIETY
Another thing I suspect matters is your ability to function in a free society, that you have a choice to bear arms, to speak about things that are not politically correct, to protest government policy that you don’t agree with, and to make dreams come true if you are willing to work hard and do the right things that get you what you want. Not many nations have this ability, and so you appreciate your own power to affect destiny.
RELATIONSHIPS
I also suspect “what matters” is your family, friends, and relationships. You value them and want a positive situation that allows you to enjoy the benefits of their association with you.
INCOME
In addition, I suspect “what matters” is having safety and security, peace of mind, and a job or profession that allows you to earn an income and acquire possessions.
Now let me ask you this:
- How many of the things that matter to you are at risk of being compromised or lost today?
- What do you plan to do about it and to protect what you value?
- What will happen to “what matters” if you choose to live in default, allowing the world around you to dictate your life?
- What will happen to “what matters” if you choose to live proactively by putting yourself in the driver’s seat?
I would like to hear your answer to the questions I just asked you. I would also like to know what you are doing to protect “What Matters” to you and your family?
