Pastor John Piper said, "The people that make a durable difference in the world are not the people who have mastered many things, but who have been mastered by a few great things." He’s making the point that you don’t have to accomplish many things in order to contribute to the world.
You don’t have to acquire material wealth, open a yoga studio, complete a PhD program, set records, reach milestones, have a family, own a yacht, become a CEO, be innovative, become a celebrity or gain riches to matter in this world.
Your achievements are important, but what matters is that you mattered. You allowed your life to matter. You allowed your work to matter. You allowed your gifts to matter. You allowed others to matter. Your legacy means nothing if nothing you did ever mattered.
My formal degrees and successful practice as an Astrologer and Life Coach mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Was I kind? Did I give? Did I share? Was I humble? Did I care? Did I love? These are the things that matter.
Your assignment this week is to make a list of what does matter to you. If you died tomorrow, what part(s) of your life would make you the most proud? Where did you come alive? How did you fan the flames of your passions? Whatever the answers, be mastered by that. Do more of that.
Check your horoscopes to see what’s in store this week ahead, and don’t forget to read for your Ascendant sign too.
