What’s Important

What are the most important things in life? I’m not sure that we get to reflect upon that very often, but we can sometimes take some time to say what we’re thankful for, which plays into that (apparently one thing that I’m thankful for is typing on a computer, as I am one of the real bad typists and am thankful that I can edit what I type).

When we’re young, we generally have to worry about the real basics – shelter, etc. When I graduated from college jobs were not plentiful. I originally planned on getting a masters (or law degree), but I was done with education and held down 3 part-time jobs for awhile to help pay bills. I think of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, as I ticked through physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. We went through some rough patches when we were younger, but are now at the point where we should become self-actualized, but in many cases we just work to maintain where we are.

But I’m reflective today, and am thankful for all my friends and family, and having a job that I love, and my wife and son, and that I remain optimistic for the future. I hope that this is something that I share with my friends. Please take some time to be thankful and thoughtful during the day – thank you.
