What Matters Most?

Priorities we all have them.

What do we look for?

What do we want?

Why do we want them?

Why do we even care?

sometimes our lives get mixed up in a jumble.

sometimes we lose our way

sometimes people say the wrong things

sometimes friendships are broken

sometimes life just happens.

you see people leaving and it breaks your heart

you see them leave and hope for the best

you hope youre still going to be friends

but then people go and say they are wrong

for wanting more

for wanting to succeed and not stand still

to change their priorities

why should it matter to other people?

why should they say those things?

what makes people think that they "know" everything?

this post isn't even about my life.

I had a chat with a good friend.

they actually care

we had a chat

we talked about why it shouldn't matter

and honestly it doesn't matter

one thing doesn't make a person who they are

and one choice may change there life

 but that doesn't mean it's the wrong choice.

sometimes they need to leave

as hard as that may be, maybe they just can't stay anymore.

they just might need a better view.

when you think about it

life isn't about sports, grades, high school, or any material thing.

life is about how you live it

how you take advantage of your opportunities

how you act around other people.

why you act that way.

so in reality what really matters to you?

i will tell you what matters to me.

Honesty

integrity

faith

love

devotion

words

actions

summer days

caring people

friends (true friends)

memories

the future

The Temple

and obviously the Gosple

realize this

you can't live a lie

one day we will all be forced to face the truth

and that day will hurt more

than if you actually told the truth in the first place

don't lie, cheat, pretend, assume, or regret

liers always lose

cheaters never prosper

pretenders are always uncovered

assumptions (well you know the quote.)

and regrets just leave you questioning with "what if?"

my life has priorities

i have them where i want them.

Sincerely,

it shouldn't be what matters

but who matters most.
