what's necessary

It all comes down to simplicity. Success is the result of focusing on what's important...

So here's what's not important:

-80-90 percent of all the emails you read
-half the phone calls you answer
-all of the time you spend worrying about things you can't control: the past, the weather
-90 percent of the time you spend worrying about things you can only influence: others and the future
-what anybody whose first name isn't God things of you, including you!
-and I'm sure you could add to this list... just look at your to-do's

How much of that will matter in 5 years, in 5 days, in 5 minutes, ever?

Let's focus on the essentials: sandals, a walking stick, and a tunic... oh right, and the Gospel! Love. Love like crazy... Love like there's no tomorrow. Love yourself and throw stress out the window. Faith, hope and love remain these three, but the greatest of these is love...

God bless,
Live from your heart,
