Finding Peace: Shift Your Focus from Majoring in the Minor Issues

Here’s a good life rule if you want more peace: “Don’t major in the minors.”  ✨ While it’s certainly our prerogative to get all twisted, rant, and voice opinions about any number of the annoying things the 8 billion people inhabiting Earth do day-to-day, it’s really not beneficial to our health, well-being, relationships, and longevity to continually fume or exist in a state of ready combustion. ✨ Instead, the goal is to privately consult with our moral compass and then set course through our actions vs. words starting in our backyards. “Show” works much more effectively than “tell.” When we focus on change within ourselves, which is where it needs to begin, we can major only in what is worth fighting for, and acknowledge the other “stuff” with a nod; maybe a knowing smile; and, a sincere “Whatever.” ✨
