There are some things in this life that are important and a
whole lot of things that aren’t. It doesn’t take too much dis-
crimination to work out which are which. And there are a
whole lot more things that don’t count, aren’t really important,
to choose from. I’m not saying we can’t have trivia in our
lives—we can and it’s fine. Just don’t go mistaking the trivia
for what is really important. Having time for loved ones and
friends is important; watching the latest soap isn’t. Repaying a
debt is important; what brand of detergent you use isn’t.
Nurturing our children and teaching them real values is
important; dressing them in designer fashion isn’t. You get
the idea. Think about what you do that counts—and do more
of it.
