Journal Writing Prompt: Time

Time has a wonderful way of showing us what really matters.

~Margaret Peters

Choose a few things that have happened in your life where time has shown you what really matters. In your journal, record one or two of these, paying particular attention to what it was about the event or situation that really made “what really matters” crystal clear. Also, include smaller details such as whether you had the revelation about what really matters immediately or if it was only on further contemplation.

Journal writing prompt bonus: One thing I stress to my kids in the importance of living your priorities. In my mind, this is an excellent way to keep from falling into the hamster wheel – running & running and going nowhere, all the while loosing track of what is really important – what *really matters*. Over the years, I’ve developed little tricks to help keep myself “in check” when it comes to my schedule. So, when I feel myself getting away from what really matters in my world, I can catch myself before I fall into the hamster wheel.

In your journal, keeping in my the situations/events that you wrote about earlier, consider the following. Have those events/situations that made you realize what really matters changed the way you live your day to day life? Do you have to “keep track of yourself” to keep those things that matter most in the forefront of your schedule?

Happy Journaling!
