What really matters? This post certainly doesn't. You'll probably forget it like that devotional or fictional book you just were reading the other day but can't remember what it was about. No, I'm not trying to say you're forgetful. It's just fact. We consume way too much visually, even if what we view/read is memorable, to remember most information. Like that we need to love. Yes, I have no doubt you'll forget this post. I'm ok with that. You better remember people though.
I was thinking today (no, don't be surprised). It was about things that matter. And I got to pondering, where it is so easy to do so, that so often I forget what is important. It is often a choice I make though. Like when I am walking behind a person and know who it is but choose not to hurry up a bit and engage them. I often don't because they're the kind of people who it is either awkward to talk to or that once I get in a conversation with them I feel like I will never escape their clutches. I'm just being honest. That really is a horrible thing though.
People do matter. The fact that I purposely go out of my way to avoid someone is so wrong. Yes, you heard me right, wrong(!) People are important. When it comes down to it they really are the only thing that matters. So I know you'll forget this post. I hope you do actually because it does you no real good to remember it.
There's only two words I hope you've gotten out of this: People matter.
Next time you're walking right behind that awkward person or pass that person in Starbucks but avoid eye contact because you know the minute you lock eyes you'll probably be talking with them for the next hour. Please engage them. And you never know when a simple conversation could make someone's day. Believe me; you need it!
