The question would seem rhetorical; because everyone has their own plans, goals, values and priorities... 10 years ago, I would not hesitate to say something like – success, independence, freedom and the like. Today, pondering this moment deeper, catching myself thinking that values have changed already. Maybe it is lifetime has changed, perhaps, age played its part (I am 39, NoHo), but now I would not denounce with 100% certainty that the most important thing in life is social status, financial independence, self-improvement, self-expression and etc.
We need something more than money, rank, insignia for complete harmony of mind... you know, once I read a wise thought, which states: “There is no point in rank and success if you have no person to dedicate it to”. So, if you're alone and if you have no real friends and relatives – who cares how many bills in your wallet or what awards you have received.
Each of us has parents and fair house where you are always welcome, where you have people who are always ready to support in your endeavors and may God grant long life to our fathers and mothers, but I'd do something a little different and talk about another theme.
Even the Bible says ‘Therefore the man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and they will become one body.’ – that's it, about soul mate, about a person who dedicates his life to you, that is the right theme I would like to talk.
A strong family always been the main achievement of each man.
When you come home, you are met by a beloved wife and you hear the joyful laughter of children. The wife will feed you by a warm dinner and in difficult times she always will support and comfort you. In this case, you can say that life is good. Anything can happen... But many men say that they lost their whole life.
Many people are splitting up and go away from each other. Yes, this is very bad, but the main thing that you need to know it's to understand your mistake and not to allow the situation to be repeated in the future. To repent and to do right next time. There are many people who are lead a colorful life, switch partners and spend a huge amount of money on useless things. And then these people say that they lost their life. Are these things more important, than a person who will be with you all time and when this person will become your second nature? It is difficult, extremely difficult to find your second half and really a true friend and companion in life. But that should be the main goal, it should be in your life's priority.
Imagine the situation – a large house, 2-3 car garage, money, and friends. But when friends leave you, you become alone with all that things. Yes, of course, you will have no shortage of random “halves” with money. But a real woman would never trade love on currency equivalent. The true woman gives himself fully and does not require anything in return. I am extremely happy that in my life I met such a beloved woman. This is my wife. We are more than 10 years together; we have two lovely sons! Although we not immediately managed to reach today's happiness and harmony. Now I know how happiness feels like, I know how to look like a happy family and it's all thanks to her, because the wife managed to create a home comfort and happiness that even the thought does not occur on some other things.
The most important thing is moral truth. That determines the higher quality of life for everyone when you look at the bigger picture. Happiness and other emotions come and go with the quality of life we create for ourselves and others. Peace.
I wish you good luck too
Most important thing in life?
