What really matters

I was on my way to theatre for a procedure and it’s amazing how, when you are in such a vulnerable state, your heart and mind wanders to the things that are most important to you. I was lying there thinking about my kids and my family and the wonderful holidays we spent together in the bush. Not for a second was I dreaming about a material thing. I am pretty sure that you have also been in a scary situation before and that your thoughts were not focussed on your new handbag or your job. Why do we then put so much emphasis on seemingly unimportant things? We put off arranging that coffee with a friend, or buying those flowers to brighten your Mom’s day or planning that trip to Africa you have been dreaming of your whole life!

We are fed lies by the media and instead of building relationships, we build empires of STUFF or things that seem important in the moment. But “things” break, become damaged and lose their value over time. We are constantly fed this lie that “stuff” can make us happy and enrich our lives. But this couldn’t be further from the truth.
