Life Priorities



"More than ever,
We have big houses and broken homes,
High incomes and low morale,
Secured rights and diminished civility.
We excel at making a living,
But often fail at making a life."
- David Meyers, pyschologist


As the year comes to an end, perhaps it is a good time to pause and reflect how we have lived throughout 2010.

We some times forget to consider what exactly are our needs instead of our wants.

We chase after what we desire rather than be grateful for what we already have in front of us.

The happiest people are those who need the least, not those who want to have the most.

Don't make the mistake of spending money buying stuff to impress people, to make yourself feel important. These are transient.

Thousands of people work long hours to earn a big income to pay a big mortgage on their beautiful house. They do not really enjoy the house because they are not home much as they have to work hard to pay for it.

Yet, life is actually very simple when you priorities on your needs.

Your personal, financial and emotional safety should be your first priority.

All other things are just your wants that cannot make you happier than you already are.

Celebrate the simple things in life - spend time with your love ones, watch a beautiful sunrise or stop to smell the flowers.

These experiences are priceless...
