November 19 What Really Counts'WHAT REALLY COUNTS'
We are so involved in our everyday lives, that many times what really counts becomes vague, evasive, and too often forgotten. The quick fix is what we need to be happy. If we need to be happy, we reach for the nearest thing available. Commercials let us know that all the time. Be happy and look beautiful with this perfect makeup. If you have this exact product this will make you happy. At work we are driven to success and more happiness. How much status do I have? Recognition will make me happy. Advancing one more rung up the ladder will make me happy. How did that saying go back in the 80’s, “He who dies with the most toys wins?”
We are so caught up in this endless circle that our children learn very well from our actions. I look around and ask myself. “When was the last time anybody married for love?” You run across this so seldom. And the more progress the world makes, the more love goes out the window. If couples truly loved each other when they married, divorce would not be as prevalent as it is today. They marry to be happy. They are reaching for that love and happiness that we all need. But if someone does not love you, it will not last. If you are merely reaching for love and don’t love that person, it will not last. There will be a divorce, and the circle will begin all over again, as we all search for that love and happiness that will fulfil our life. Do we ever meet our true love? I believe that some of us do. I am an incurable romantic and I would like to say, hang on, yes you will meet your true love and live happily ever after. But then the realist drops by and pops my balloon. I believe many of us meet our true love while we are young. The one that you know will make your life complete ‘till death do us part. If you have your true love and are walking life’s path together, I applaud you. I don’t find many of you out there. Realize how lucky you are and cherish it. In too many cases family will tell you that they are not right for you and you will part, settling for second best, never to find true love again. Or tragically, you will lose your true love to an early death. MORE...
