[...] What’s The Point? on August 2 struck a chord with, “Never confuse urgency and drama with meaning and purpose.” [...]

“Just because something’s urgent doesn’t mean it’s important” that really stood out for me! Thanks for unpacking urgency and meaning .. too often we mistake one for the other Or rather, used to. Not anymore. Thanks for the food for thought, Tia

So true! I so often see people with urgent or dramatic problems that really have nothing to do with anything, other than filling up space and time. One of those people is me, of course Good reminder!

Drama and urgency vs. meaning and purpose – how well stated, Michele. I am seeing more clients in my coaching practice who are ruled by the former needs. The more they allow themselves to respond to the little disappointments, the less they can live their purpose. And vice-versa. I wonder if this economic crisis is triggering people’s adrenaline (flight or flight response) more and prompting them to react bigger to even small things, like a flat tire.

I do believe that even though our physical beings are more sensitive, more reactive, we can ramp up our calming, relaxing, or spiritual practices – taking a walk in nature, being with animals, deep breathing – or whatever puts you in a place where you can get back to your source.

Thank you for directing my attention to this.

Deal with the urgent without the drama.
I love that.
Focus on your unique meaning.

Beautiful.

Thanks.
