We have to remind ourselves. Constantly remind ourselves.

It’s not that we as individuals are forgetful, it’s not that we’re careless, it’s just part of the way the human mind works, and especially in this modern world of ours, there are so many distractions.

We need to remind ourselves what our goals are and how we intend to accomplish them.

We need to remind ourselves to take care of ourselves – and we need to remember how to take care of ourselves.

We need to remind ourselves to be forgiving (we are all human).

We need to remind ourselves to be compassionate.

We need to remind ourselves of the Power of Love.

One of my roommates reminded me this past week that we need to remind ourselves about things. She was telling me about a magazine she reads that has lots of ideas and tends to remind her of things she’s forgotten.

Recently, I’ve resumed my morning meditation and prayer practice. This is one of my ways of reminding myself of some of the more important things to me in life. I also rely on friends and family, and on my calendar and to-do list. Sunsets help a lot too.

Oh, in case you’ve forgotten, Happy Father’s Day! 🙂

How do you remind yourself about what’s important?
