Do you realize that when you reflect on your life, what gives it meaning is not the mere trinkets and artifacts of achievement? You will discover that what you desire most is to be fulfilled by life.
Understand that what will bring that satisfaction is to create, express, and bring to life the unique beauty of your spirit within you. It is there you will find the real and lasting value you can experience.
Beginning today, focus on the substance of achievement, which lives in effort, passion, commitment, and persistence, and not on the material rewards. Why? It is what will give meaning to life.
