In today's materialistic world, many of us chase after possessions, power and status. We never stop running. We are always working for that extra dollar. We are never contented with what we have.
And so, we are drawn to work longer and harder and faster. We compete and we tear others down. We look good on the outside but deep down we feel empty. And so we immerse ourselves in what pleases our senses. For there is always a more fanciful car out there waiting for us, there is always a bigger house in a more classy neighborhood. These will never bring fulfillment for they are temporal and they satisfy our desires for a moment.
I came across this note and it spoke to me and re-kindle my view of life to issues that matters.
"You won't have to answer to anyone
or fulfill their expectations -
not your parents or your business associates or your spouse.
WHAT WILL YOU HAVE DONE WITH THE GIFT OF LIFE?
The answer will be important to you then,
so the question should be important to you NOW.
The course of your life is determined by ....
- the RELATIONSHIPS you form
- the DECISIONS you make
- the ACTIONS you take
Each has the potential to change your life."
~ John C. Maxwell
