Life is short and in a world of chaos, social media and divisiveness, precious things can easily become lost. Sometimes, circumstances out of our control cause loss, and sometimes our own choices cause us to lose the things that mean the most. We all have different needs and priorities in life, but we share one thing in common: the absence of certain things in life causes us to feel incomplete. While our lives and priorities may differ, there are some things vital to living a life of fulfilment, things we need to fight for things that really matter. Never lose sight of these critical things in life.

Health

• Anything is possible when one is in good health.
• Taking care of your mind, body and soul is critical. To avoid preventable illnesses and stress, eat a healthy diet and exercise daily.
• Mental health can be improved by being more present, eating well, and taking time to decompress.

Purpose

• We must have a purpose, a goal, an outcome we want to achieve as we walk this Earth, to live a fulfilling life.
• When you discover your purpose, you will fell like you have truly begun to live.
• You can call it your dreams, aspirations for your career, or your own definition of success, but if you truly want to make a difference in the world, you must start with yourself.

Family & Friendship

• It’s all to easy to forget how important family is to us.
• It’s natural to be busy, by why not try to be busy with the people who matter the most to us? Keep in mind that your family is precious.
• You can’t pick your family, but you can pick your friends, and make them family members.

Time

• Time is a limited resource once it is spent, it’s gone forever. We cannot ever get time back, but we can be intentional with the time that we have.
• If you understand the value of time better, you can gain experience and develop skills over time.
• We can protect our precious time, saving it for the activities and people that give our lives the most meaning and joy.

Learning

• Life is a gift, and making the most of it is our responsibility.
• You may believe you are an expert in a field one day, only to be confronted with a challenge the next that proves you wrong.
• You will add great depth and meaning to your life if you discover and cultivate your talents through constant learning.
