What REALLY matters in life

[flexed1]

Not a body
Not a face
Not Money
Not a fancy car
Not a fancy House

Friends to see you through hard times and who understand when things are not going as you want and you have no control over your lifes unexpected turns.

God for making one understand its not about material things its about living to live and living to make yourself happy and learing in bad times what life is all about.

Family for knowing things will be okay because they are always there for you in good and bad. Thanks mom and dad for caring and understanding and for suppourting me during times when i was down.

Losing 25 pounds and fighting off a disease that puts me in the hospital every month sometimes twice for a total of more than 50 days since May has taught me whats really important in my life and during this time its important to me to share with others and be thankfull that even though things are not great I still have people who care and I have been blessed by everything else in my life so being side tracked is a lesson in being able to meet and beat the bad things life throws at ya.

Yes, I have learned so much in the past few months and even though I am no longer a young chicken I have learned a very valuable lesson about how unimportant things we think life is all about mean nothing and being able to live every day and have friends and family by your side is all life is really about. Fame and money can make life easier but by no means do they ever show the true meaning of happiness and life.

This is a lesson I have learned at 40 years old and i hope maybe it helps somebody as it has me.

Peace to all and happy Holidays.

Flexed you have learned what's important in life!

I'm wondering if most people never learn until they get to
old to do anything about it.

God Bless YOU and Your Family this holiday season and
into the New Year.

It sucks that most of us have to suffer through something like that before we realize what matters. However, it's just the learning process. Good luck Flex

Good points. Would be nice to have the above mentioned in addition to what really matters, but hey it is all about family and close friends. One of my favorite lines is in from the movie BLOW, when Johny Depp is just a little boy and his father tells him the "funny thing in life is when you are up you don't know you are up and when you are down you never think you will be up again...money ain't real."

Sometimes it is good to be down because you find out who your true friends are. This is worth its weight in gold.

-The brother-hood that I've developed with some of my fellow Marines. Amazing how we've known each other for only a short time and are willing to die for one another. Espirit de Corps isn't just a phrase anymore. It's a state of being.

What really matters to me is my family and my fellow Marines.

smoke and you will be saved.

Love, life, and law.

Love your children, give them good values to live by, teach them to respect themselves and others, and make them responsible for their actions. As a parent, those are some of the best things you can do to help make this world a better place for future generations.

This is a VERY special song to me...

What Matters

Have you given up on passion living day to day
You keep your dreams locked down inside
Choking on a lifetime of never take a chance
Don't wake up one day wishing you tried

It ain't about the money, it ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about the losing streak, makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is your heart

Let's forget about the notion that we're not the same
My blood runs as red as yours
We all get angry, we've all been scared
We've all made big mistakes that can never be repaired

It ain't about the money, it ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about the losing streak, makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is your heart

Look me in the eye and take my hand
We can make a difference
We can make a difference I know we can

Have you given up on passion living day to day
You keep your dreams locked down inside
Choking on a lifetime of never take a chance
Don't wake up one day wishing you tried

It ain't about the money, it ain't about the time
It ain't about the love you lost or the things you think you left behind
It ain't about the losing streak, makes you feel like you're falling apart
What matters is your heart

Although I believe God has nothing to do with this, excellent post man.

What matters to me?

Friends and family.

There are a lot of really good people on this board.

Flex, you are blessed.

soon as you were born you started to die, the only thing you can count on in life is death. everyone that lives, will die.

this is the truth. to me there is only one thing that matters in life, and that's were you go after death. because this is just the pre-show(a test) for eternity. make sure you know were your going. you never know when your time will be to leave this life.
