I like what Jimmy Stewart said in the film "Harvey":  "In this life, you have to be oh, so smart, or oh so pleasant.  For years I was smart, and now I'm just pleasant.  And I much prefer it."  Isn't that lovely?

figured out and carried out, as best I could, my purpose for being alive:  for me that means being loving, honest, ethical, of service to others. . .\n\nSomeone said "why is this in ethics or spirituality?"  I cannot think of a better place to put it, and thanks for giving us something to think about.\n\nFinally, that tim McGraw song, if you liked it or thought it was corny. . . still had some good points.\n"someday I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying."  peace

It's true, we all have our own personal beliefs, yet some tend to lean theirs onto others. They'll say it's "Freedom of Speech." How about "Freedom of Choice"?  I choose to follow my path, which may parallel with yours or go in a different direction, but I'm not going to insist mine is THE way. It's what works for us that we choose the road which to walk.

allowing myself to be vulnerable to another. in other words, being open and honest about myself to help someone to get to know me, warts and all. this also encourages them to be the same. listening well is more important than speaking well (tho i like to think i do both)\n\nmy sense of humor has also been a great strength for me. it has got me thru cancer, my present health problems (resulting from cancer treatments) and the bush administration. i love to laugh, but i enjoy making others laugh even more.\n\nwhat's yours?

I must say the number one thing I look for is honesty, not only to me but to yourself! If you can't be honest with yourself you can't be with anyone else...........\nThen along comes trust!

Personally, my favorite thing that I've ever said is, "The things I do are well worth the faces you make."  One should be different and original, and if it makes somebody stop and think, even better.\n\nAnother good quote is from Gwendolyn Brooks's poem "Corners on the Curving Sky":\nOur earth is round, and, among other things\nThat means you and I can hold\ncompletely different\nPoints of view and both be right.\n\nIf people could just agree to disagree, the world would be a better place.

Money working for me. So I can travel all over the world whenever and wherever I want to.\n\nMore money producing assets, so I can help everybody especially my church and my community.\n\nAnd most of all, being annonymous doing it!\n\nNow to me that's a perfect life.. knowing my purpose :-)

One of the most profound truths of all time...I was so impressed by this essay 30 yrs. ago I copied it word for word...the essence in my opinion is found in his opening lines..."Every man is his own star"   Find the source of life and light within your own self.  Never be other than you truly are.  Speak the simple truth...which you cannot do until you make the hardest  journey...the one that goes to the depths of your soul.  This essay goes hand in hand with " Know yourself " and "To thine own self be true." Rely on your own instincts for self-preservation. Do no harm.  Never covet...expect only what is your own to come to you.  Live your own life...other people have opinions but no one else walks in your shoes.  Your life pathway is uniquely your own.  Integrity of mind is another way of saying wholeness and wellness.  The worst lie is the lie to your self.  The hardest work is to live without deception.  The past is only valuable for the lessons learned so don't get lost looking over your shoulder at where you have been.  Keep your eyes focused on where you are going.  Have faith that what you really need will be available to you when the need actually arrives.  Never lose hope...it is stronger than experience.  Live life!!!

Hm, today is the day for serious answers :) Mine is Global Affairs. Why? Well because I love politics, geographic, travel and I see a world as one country with no borders. I will die before this becomes reality but I will always fight for it.

This is such a hard question, it has sooo many meanings. The best thing I did for myself, for someone else or the thing I have most enjoyed. Okay...for myself realise that life is short and if you want it, you gotta go get it. For someone else... I gave up a big promotion to a friend knowing that at that point in time they needed it more, the thing I have most enjoyed...wow.....probably finding Y!A! Lol! x\n\nGreat Question, thanks for getting me to revisit my memories!
