What truly matters most on your journey.....

I want to focus on what matters most this week. I think when most people look at there life after collage, and as they start up a business, the money, and personal achievement is at the forefront of everyone's mind. wanting to be successful isn't a bad desire, but I think we need to keep a little better perspective. I was watching a video this week and there were different age groups questioned. The age group over 60 was asked about things that matter in business and life. I will periphrases what was said, because I don't remember the exact quot, but it was something like, what did I do that mattered, did i make a different, and who did I love, and who loved me.

This is some profound thinking. When we are young our thoughts are not to the end of life and what matters most. It is the now, but now is only a short time and then it is the past. No one wants to look back with regrets and realize they could have been more, or could have done more. When I deiced to go back to school it had nothing to do with getting a better paying job, but everything to do with being a better husband and father. Education and my degree will give me the freedom to be there for my family and that is what I believe truly matters most.
