The bigger picture

We can become caught up in the details of life. This is not to say that they are unimportant. In today's world it is necessary to cross our Ts and dot our Is to ensure thoroughness. We also need to ask ourselves how all of this fits into the bigger picture. This can be done by framing tasks in light of our life purpose. How does what I do match the integrity of who I am? Are there tasks that I perform and decisions I make that leave a gnawing feeling in the pit of my stomach? If so, it may be an opportunity to explore how we can approach a situation with confidence that this is right for us and is in service for the greater good. What impact will the actions I take today have on my own well-being? There are events that occur in our lives that require split second decisions such as those when we are driving. This is about decisions for which you have some time to think them through knowing that there will always be circumstances that can alter the direction of our choices. If we keep the bigger picture in mind, it will help us to navigate life more easily. How are you using the bigger picture to guide your life?
