Our lives improve only when we take chances - and the first and most difficult risk we can take is to be honest with ourselves. ~ Walter Anderson
Well, I had something profound to write. Then I realized that it's not really that important. People focus too much on things that aren't truly important- like money, fame and fortune. Sure, these things are nice to have, but what really is vital is the relationships in your life; how much effort you put into them. When you are old and look back over your life, it would obviously be great to see all of your conquests. But what do these things do for you? Alone, and you will still be missing something. Paired with good relationships, and everything in your life turns from a mere happening to a memory. An actual memory that makes you feel something. It doesn't have to be a warm, fuzzy feeling of some great event. It could be a terrible sadness, one big regret, or a deep longing for more. Regardless, whatever you do now- the relationships you form, the habits you develop, the tasks you accomplish- are all a part of a greater picture. Without relationships, no one will care what that greater picture looks like once its finished. In the end, people just want someone to care. They just want to be important.
