What Matters

As I mentioned earlier today, there is a great deal of peace and harmony in my life today and conversely fairly little stress and drama.  In part my peace is due to my belief in what I heard early in recovery, that "nothing matters very much and very few things matter at all".  Not only do I find that to be true, but most of the people who I am close to and interact with daily, do as well, also adding to my sense of peace.  That attitude gets the ego and what the ego pretends is important, out of the way and then allows for more loving interactions.  A belief that most of life’s events don’t matter removes a lot of stress and fear.  Relationships, love and connection do matter and the focus of life can be placed there.
