| What is Most Important in Life??? Posted: 5/23/2006 2:43:50 AM | Still figuring that out myself babe. Right now, it's either everything is important or nothing is. Take all or leave all...how could one isolate one or rank them in accordance?? ...well, i'll work on that. | |

| What is Most Important in Life??? Posted: 5/23/2006 2:54:41 AM | That is simple and complete in purpose. The most important thing in my life is my kids. Since, I am going through a divorce right now- my 5yr son is the MAN of my life! To be a mom to my kids, is the priority that I shall never squander as being trivial. Sierra | |

Is whether or not to accept Jesus Christ as your savior. | |

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women"
or something like that...

Next is family, without them you have nothing. Also, I agree with the person that mention that you have to love and respect yourself. If you can't do that, you will never find love and respect from someone else.
Good luck everyone. | |

| What is Most Important in Life??? Posted: 5/23/2006 10:24:57 AM | | Two things ..... first, my daughter ..... she's the best thing that ever came into my life. Second, being a good person and always being there for my friends or those in need that don't have it so well and just need a hand to keep their head above the waves. | |

| What is Most Important in Life??? Posted: 5/23/2006 8:12:05 PM | | no take things for granted....to live for the moment and to appreciate the little things in life with values. | |

| What is Most Important in Life??? Posted: 5/25/2006 9:44:22 PM | Agreed with solitude. Pablo, too bad that you're disappointed. I assume you should know by now that the essence of the question - as with all else - is highly subjective. One person's answer lies in the mind, not in reality. Do not think you have the responsibility of God to mold your own perception of what is, into actuality itself...or your life will be full of disappointements.
I completely understand where you're coming from, though. I myself can be a highly judgemental person when it comes to musical preferences, or people on opposing sides of life that I'm in disagreements with. (Mind you, it makes a difference to actually be aware that you're in the act of judging, in order to reflect on your acts critically.) But what's the point, though, if I cannot learn to understand those who can challange my position and make me learn? Without learning, we inevitably reaches a plateau in our development and growth. (References/credit to Brasidas for teaching me this lesson.)
Tolerance, tolerance, preaches I =)
PS. Brasidas also said (And Freud confirms, and I agree completely), those who insist on their willingness to sacrifice and their selflessness, may in fact be the most egotistic ones of us all. Our defense mechanisms will not allow this to be seen in clarity, but that's not to say it isn't so. Before you rain down your torrent of judgement on, i.e introspective people who make the learning of self a personal quest in life, take a deep breath and look within yourself instead, d'accord?
For those of you wondering why I've mentioned the above:
Easy........you're really angry type, aren't you? That's not good for your health, mentally or physically, I'm a bit worried about you. Look at your statement below, you're such a loving person so ready to give rather than take.
Peace/No hard feelings ;) | |

| What is Most Important in Life??? Posted: 5/26/2006 9:54:32 AM | What an interesting thread...I'm glad I stumbled on it today. So interesting to read the many personal yiews expressed so well.
For me the most important in life is to live it in with loving intentions and in full awareness and full facility of all our senses. To aknowledge with awe and gratitude what an awesome thing it is to be alive in the first place and have the cognitive ability to percieve and wonder about our unique place in this amazing universe. To have the rearward view when at the end of your road in this incarnation that you have lived it well and have contributed some truth and beauty to the lives of others and the well being of the planet that has hosted our mortal bodies and nurtured our immortal souls... | |

| What is Most Important in Life??? Posted: 5/26/2006 10:59:59 AM | The most important issue in my opinion deals with creating meaningful and lasting relationships...
My relationship with God My relationships with family and friends...
Imagine a world without each... | |

| What is Most Important in Life??? Posted: 5/26/2006 8:58:06 PM | | For me the most important thing is what I feel on the inside. It's peace of mind, balance and a sense of calm. It's understanding my strengths and weaknesses and the pursuit of goals that I set for myself. Everything in life depends upon the camera angle but the first place you should look if you are seeking happiness is inside of yourself. It's a pretty special place. | |

To me, the most important thing in life is balance. That is, not being overly educated, but smart enough, not having a lot of money, but enough to get what I want and need. Get the idea? | |

| What is Most Important in Life??? Posted: 5/26/2006 11:40:41 PM | The most important thing in my life is my kids...I am raising them totally on my own so I am Mom and Dad. After that would be my career. | |

| What is Most Important in Life??? Posted: 5/28/2006 3:26:37 PM | | It may be different for each person, due to his/her own values. For me, finding and fulfilling your purpose in life--that "thing" you were designed to do and be--is most important. | |
|
| What is Most Important in Life??? Posted: 7/5/2006 9:28:02 PM | | The second most important thing that I value in life would have to be my family (being that "health" is #1 on my list). What about everyone else? | |
