What Matters Most in Life
by Jane Powell
“In the long run, it’s your personal relationships that really matter.”
With today’s busy lifestyles, it’s all too easy to put relationships on the backburner and take them for granted. Even though you may have every intention of spending regular time with your partner, hectic schedules get in the way and you end up running in every direction except toward each other.
Yet, you know that your personal relationships are paramount to personal fulfillment. Be sure to set some time aside each week to rediscover the people that mean most to you. Be alone with that person, talk, enjoy your time together and renew your relationship.
After all, in this life, your loved ones are what really matter.
And if you don't like that image
Of yourself that others see,
Take some time to make some changes,
Be the best that you can be.
Take some time to just appreciate
The fact that you are here,
And to trust it without fear.
If you do these things with diligence
You will eventually be glad.
If you don't attempt them,
You may one day wish you had.
Although this no doubt could impose
Upon your time for seeking wealth,
There should be little question
That it could improve your health.
And though you might not be as wealthy
Nor drive so fine a car,
You'll find you will be richer
In other ways by far.

If you're having a difficult day, is it the day itself that's difficult?
No, it is the way you perceive and interpret the events of the day that make it feel so difficult.
Remember that you can always change your perception. You can always choose the way you interpret and respond to whatever happens in your world.
Remember that you can always change your perception. You can always choose the way you interpret and respond to whatever happens in your world.
Those who make a habit of achieving great things operate within exactly the same objective reality as everyone else. What sets achievers apart is a more positive, empowering subjective reality that they create with their own perceptions.
Much of what happens in the world is out of your control. Yet all of what you do about whatever happens is yours to choose, to direct and to perform as you please.
Decide to see yourself as empowered by events, and you will naturally take empowering, effective actions. Focus your subjective reality around the values and goals that are truly meaningful to you, and through that reality you can employ those values to achieve those goals.
Look at life with a positive, purposeful perspective.
And make reality work for you.
And make reality work for you.
