What’s Really Important?

Do you ever stop and think about what is important to you? And if you do, do you ever then feel into which of those things speaks to you the most?

It’s normal to slip into occasional periods when you go through your life on autopilot, cycling through the same old routines until you realize yet another year has gone by and your dreams remain unfulfilled. But what if approaching life this way was no longer an option? What would be possible instead?

In your quest to discern what truly holds significance in your life, you might consider asking yourself the more potent question “what’s really important?” This can serve as an invitation to delve beyond the surface and explore the depths of your core values and convictions. It beckons you to bypass the fleeting gratifications of life and instead examine the enduring elements that resonate within the essence of your being.

Perhaps you might come to the realization that responses which gravitate towards the tangible and superficial—things like career success, material possessions, societal approval, and so on—might have less value than you first imagined. By deepening your inquiry, you can undergo a transformative shift that helps you bypass societal expectations and venture into the recesses of your soul, where you connect to things that are typically more enduring: love, compassion, personal growth, meaningful connections, and the pursuit of a purpose-driven life.

From the importance of human connection to the value of self-discovery, in this episode of Soul Empowerment, we uncover the hidden gems that enrich our lives. Watch the recording for a blend of wisdom, inspiration, and practical tips that encourage you to reassess your priorities and focus on what truly matters. Here is a synopsis of our talking points:

Living in the Present

You may have heard the saying “Now is all there is”. The past is a memory that you can cling to and let influence your present, or that you can let go. The future isn’t here yet, so why even think about something that may not happen? How easily do you talk yourself out of those things that make your heart and soul sing? Embracing the Now is a profound shift that empowers you to lead an intentional, purposeful life that fosters a sense of connection to others and to the world around you.

Every Perspective Matters

Do you always have to be right? Or is that just a desire of your ego? Could it be a matter of simply seeing things from different perspectives? Dropping from the mind into the heart creates an opening that allows you to be more accepting of every perspective. Learn how to pause and listen, so that you can recognize common goals and objectives even when the strategies for getting there might be vastly different between any two people. Ultimately, we all want love, happiness and joy in our lives, but our methods might differ. The work is to temper the ego and stay connected to the soul, which helps to reveal what’s really important.

Fulfillment Beyond Expectation

Someone else’s expectations of what’s important is theirs, and your expectations are yours. Leaning into what feels alive to you involves breaking free from external and internal judgments, milestones and norms. Genuine fulfillment comes from committing to what’s calling to you, aligning with your true self, embracing a unique path, and redefining success on your own terms.
