In a survey at the Nursing Home, people over ninety were asked, "If you could live your life again, what would you do differently?"
The three most common responses were:
(1) I would spend more time with family and friends.
(2) I would try more things and take more risks.
(3) I would dedicate myself to something that would outlast me.
Trivial matters often consume too much of our time, leading us to live by the wrong priorities. If you agree to every request, you'll never find time for what you're truly called to do.
A life where everything happens is a life where nothing happens. Your greatest challenge is discretion and taking actions that ultimately matter.
