Preserve what's precious
A simple Reminder
Based on the very limited amount of time we have here are we really spending it wisely? How often do we tend to focus on things that eventually deplete our energy? How often do we say yes to people because we care too much about not trying to hurt their feelings, while not bothering to care about our feelings in exchange. Our time on this planet is limited yet very precious. And because we’re alive and breathing, it only makes sense to identify what is precious to us and how to preserve it.
How does one determine what is precious and what is not? That is always subjective. What may seem precious to you may not be regarded as precious to someone else. But it all comes down to whether you’d like to preserve this or let it go? Would you like to carry it with you or tuck it nicely somewhere only to visit whenever you can?
Can we not accommodate it all, everything that we feel is important to us? But that’s just the thing, there are somethings that are important but some things are precious and the things that are precious need a little extra care. Precious is what makes the soul come alive. Where we’re suddenly reminded of each passing moment and the need to be wakeful and thankful.
Sometimes we forget that the most precious thing we need to preserve is how we show up for ourselves. By my understanding what is precious, is finite and can’t be spent or given away generously. It requires love, comfort, warmth and compassion. Our choices, beliefs, values, mindset, they’re all pretty precious and how choose to spend them, need to be thought of very carefully.
The cost of preserving what’s precious to you could be high and you may feel as if you’re not ready for it. You may feel overwhelmed and even question the need to preserve something that you feel so intensely for. Maybe people may not understand your reasons and perhaps you may realize that it could be lonely up here trying to preserve what matters.
During those moments of doubt, may these words come back you. May you find the courage to be okay with preserving what’s precious to you, even if it is a moment of your time. May you find the courage to put yourself first and pick the things that are truly precious to you. I hope you gracefully allow the rest to fade away.
When you choose to preserve some of it and let the rest go, it may come across as if you’re being selfish but you’re not really being selfish. In a way you’re also looking out for people who could also be preserving what is precious to them, perhaps looking at you choose they could be inspired to choose too.
