Do What Matters Most Novels & Stories

Luna smiled and said, "It's all about prioritization and delegation." Luna shared that every morning, she makes a to-do list of all the tasks she needs to accomplish for the day. She then prioritizes the tasks based on their level of importance and urgency. By doing this, Luna ensures that she tackles the most important tasks first, allowing her to use her time more effectively. Luna also emphasized the importance of delegation. She believes that no one can do everything alone, and it's essential to trust and rely on the people around you. She makes sure to delegate tasks that she knows others can handle, freeing up her time to focus on more pressing matters.

“What matters is I am close to getting what I want.” “Everything matters, Abby. The entire journey matters. When something good happens, and when something bad happens, those moments are all important. The same goes for the people that have a hand in these moments. So please, who did this to you? We must make sure this person doesn’t get a chance to do the same thing again.” “It is fine, Ruby. It won’t make a difference if the person is known anyway.” “Abby…” “I want to go back to school to get something.”

“Why?” I open my mouth to answer but no sound comes out, I've never questioned it before and I don't know what to say because I don't even know myself the reason why I do that. “I don't know...” I admit with confusion. A stony silence fills the office as I avoid eye contact. “Make your head stop seeing your illness as the center of the universe and start directing your thoughts in a different direction. Don't let the bad comments rumble any louder inside you”

Naomi's POV College. The one thing everyone should be thinking about. But instead, only 10% of us take it seriously maybe even less. Instead of thinking about our future we think about out next move, the next party and an array of things that's aren't as important as our future. Frankly thinking about is stressful, so why not avoid the thought completely whenever you can? Focus on enjoying your last year of high school before officially becoming an adult. At least that's what I think other kids my age are thinking.

I say quietly. “And we understand that,” Mom replies immediately, though her tone says otherwise. “But maybe this is a sign that you need to focus on what actually matters now.” A cold, twisted feeling settles in my stomach. “What actually matters,” I repeat flatly. “Your future,” she says like it should be obvious. “Your finals, scholarships, real opportunities, Lila. Not this…” she gestures vaguely toward the garage “…obsession.” My jaw tightens as I slowly feel that icy-cold feeling begin to thaw into something hot and burning.

he clarified calmly. I scoff “So what if I don’t agree with whatever you want? What if I have an opinion of my own, like right now for example. Is my own desire not important to you? Only yours is what matters?” I ask in disbelief. “I’m not saying I’m not going to listen to you, I will and I’m not going to tell you to do something that you’re not capable of or something that might harm you. Your opinion matters but mine matters the most. I will always do what’s best for you not for me, that’s what you’re not getting” he said firmly.

He stepped a little closer, not closing the distance completely, but enough that his presence felt more direct, more intentional. “Then stop trying to make it perfect,” he said. “That’s not how this works.” I studied him for a second, trying to understand what he meant beyond the words. “And how does it work?” I asked. “You decide what matters to you,” he said. “Then you stand on it, even when people don’t like it.” “That sounds easier than it is.” “It is easier,” he replied. “People just make it complicated because they care too much about being liked.”

“How did you and Dad balance everything? Work, marriage, raising us kids, dealing with threats? How did you make it all work without losing your minds?” Her mother was quiet for a moment, considering. “We didn’t balance perfectly. Some days work won. Some days family won. Some days we just survived and called it a victory.” She wrapped an arm around Aurora’s shoulders. “The trick isn’t balance—that’s a myth. The trick is priorities. Knowing what matters most in any given moment.” “And when everything feels like it matters equally?” “Then you choose the thing that will hurt most if you neglect it. Usually, that’s family. Sometimes, it’s work. And rarely—though it should be more often—it’s you

Together. “I’ve been so focused on keeping everything together, Leila,” he said softly, his voice almost a whisper. “On ensuring the company survives, that we didn’t lose everything. But I realize… I’ve been neglecting what matters most.” He paused, the intensity of his words sinking in. “You matter most. We matter most.”

“Sometimes, the worst pain comes from those who you believe them to be closest to you. You think that they would be there for you and by your side until the end of time and then you are both shocked and surprised when you see that they are not. You just see them going away, leaving you. It is not something that you can allow yourself to easily digest.” “But treason is something that you vomit out, my love, and not digest.” She said, grazing her nail over my skin gently. “And that is what we are going to do from here on out. We are going to throw out those that hurt us most. Because right now, we have to focus on what matters most.” “And that is?” I asked, and she smiled. “Family. The one WE
