The highest relevance

At any given moment, there are many things going on.

Opportunities that can be taken. Things to appreciate. Truths to express. Lessons to be learned.

There are also distractions to loose yourself in. Activities that leave you empty. Entanglements that distort your flow. Lies to tell. Undesirable consequences.

Here’s a question that’s helping me find my way as I navigate through the soup of possibilities to give my attention to:

What’s most relevant in here for me?

Here’s an example: if I’m feeling entangled in a conversation out of something that got me triggered, instead of giving more energy to my ego’s need for defense, retaliation, or projection, I can ask myself the question “What’s most relevant in here for me?”

The question can serve as a pattern interrupt. As a focus redirect, to get my attention towards tuning in and identifying what’s the most valuable opportunity at the moment.

Maybe it’s about acknowledging something. Or expressing myself clearly. Or being accountable. Or plainly and vulnerably owning my shit.

The point is that there might be something more relevant —as in valuable to your expansion, evolution, acceleration, and progress — than what meets the eye at first glance.

You can even use the question to explore a bigger context than the immediate moment. You can ask something like “Now in my life, what contains the highest relevance?”

You can play with many variations to the question. Alternatives like…

Intuitively, what’s most relevant now?

What do I really need? What’s really relevant?

Beyond my ego, what do I know it the really relevant thing in here for me to own?

What’s the relevant things here for me to say and do?

…can serve you navigate through the myriad of possibilities for you to give your attention and energy to.

Questions like these can help in stripping away the unnecessary and irrelevant. To leave out the optional in favor of the essential. To identify the truth above the noise.

Play with those.

I bet you its relevant for you to do so.
