Don’t sweat the small stuff.

This was my mom’s mantra years ago. Any time I would talk to her about something I felt was soo big, this would be her response.

And ooh how it would make me so mad. I felt like she wasn’t hearing me. Or understanding anything I said and was dismissing it all.

Think about the bigger picture.

That was her next line.

Well, what does that mean? How do I even do that if I’m focused on what’s in front of me?

Aha. Got it.

At 42 I got it. Now I honor and live by it.

Here’s how.

Anything that does not directly effect my end goal, or is a part of my plan I don’t entertain.

I don’t spend hours absorbing negative YouTube content. No matter how many truths are told.

Why?

It doesn’t align with my objective to be productive. To produce positive work I must feed my spirit positive things.

This is one of the reasons I’ve totally cut reality tv from my life.

What’s to gain? What is the ROI for me?

I have a friend who’s vegan. They will not eat a non organic fruit or vegetable. For me, I eat fruits and vegetables period. Organic or not.
