What’s Truly Most Important

by Liane Schmidt in Lifestyle Choices, July 16, 2007

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

If you want to spend quality time with someone, but don’t have a great deal of money right now, there are many things you can find to do that will be special. It truly has more to do with the company than anything else. Sure it would be nice to have the means to be able to fly to Spain at a moment’s notice, but you can’t pay for the amazing beauty found in the ever changing hues melting in the evening sky and you can’t replace the feel of warm arms encircling you in an embrace of true love. Nothing is comparable to moments such as these – nothing.

So, maybe right now you are struggling to get your career to the place you want it to be. Maybe you have made some mistakes financially in the past. We all make mistakes. We are all still constantly learning and growing. And, we always will be learning, growing and making mistakes. But, what is most important in life is to try your very best at any given moment and truly appreciate the genuine moments in life.

I have always been a true romantic at heart. I have always believed that when I find the man of my dreams I would do anything for him. In the end, it is often said that people on their death beds only truly remember how other people made them feel. And, this is why I believe that though money is important and can make many things in life easier, what is most important is staying true to who you are and the strength of an incredible character.

I have been told that Braveheart, the movie, is not typically a favorite movie for ladies. I would have to say it is probably my favorite movie of all time. It not only touches all realms of emotions, but it also portrays a main character who stands for truth, virtue and goodness above all else. People of his character are few and far between. They are people who live their life in such a way that people cannot help but be moved by.

People like Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa. These are people to not only admire and aspire to be more like, but they are people who truly knew the meaning of life. It is to lift others higher, to love people more than maybe their actions warrant at any given moment – for when you do, this changes people, and to live standing by your values above all else.

“We are the world, we are the children – we are the ones who make the world a brighter place so let’s keep giving”

My very best wishes, to all.
