The most important things in life...

Got into this discussion with someone last night. What are the most important things in our lives?

I was able to name three. It occurred to me at the time though that the speed in which I named them off may have been due to the fact that I haven't given this enough thought. Or perhaps in my inebriated state I had a moment of lucidity. Or not...

Aside from our own health and safety and that of our loved ones, what is really important to us?

I was able to identify music, cooking and writing. Are the important things the ones we end up doing? People will say that exercise is important to them but they spend little time doing it. It's not what we think "should" be important but what "is" at the moment. Once we identify those we can then assess them and even replace them.

Every journey begins with an assessment of where we are. Whether its directions to the mall or an emotional journey to better our selves. We need to know where we are before we can get to where we're going.

I guess its time to put some more thought into where I am today.
