We often have the wrong idea about what matters in life, and thinking about what really does matter can make a big improvement in our life.

What Matters in Life

It's not what we have that matters more,
But what we will do and have done before.

It's not our possessions that give us our worth,
But how we spend our time here on earth.

It's not a matter of what we can take,
But what kind of difference can we make.

It's not carelessness in the way we live,
But carefully looking for ways we can give.

It's not just hurrying to get somewhere fast,
But taking the time for friendships that last.

It's not simply getting and spending of wealth,
But always taking good care of our health.

It's not being dragged down by worries and strife,
But always seeking the beauty of life.

It's not getting mad when we can't have our way,
But constantly making the most of each day.
