Nothing Is Irrelevant

To say that all the little things we chose to do each day are irrelevant is to say the ocean tides and air currents and growing grass as individual things are irrelevant, too. Which is simply not true.

For example, when you choose the back road over the freeway today A LOT CAN HAPPEN. It may seem irrelevant, that simple choice but by doing so you may potentially avoid a highway accident. Or perhaps by taking an alternate route you catch a doe and her fawn sipping from a glistening pond. That seemingly irrelevant choice changes your day’s experience.

Not only is every choice and every effort relevant, it is also dependent on the next thing and the next. We may not have the capacity to understand how all of these dots connect but we get the sense that they ARE relevant. A random sequence of small choices add up to a lifetime.

Tell your flowering rose bush that it’s fragrance and delicate petals are neither dependent or relevant to the honey bee. At the checkout line tell yourself that choosing to let the harried mother with three small children step in front of you is irrelevant. It might not be to her. Nothing is irrelevant.

BE F-G AWESOME TODAY!
