Truth #12 - Priorities

You are special, I am special, we are all special, but your job is not. No matter how good you are at your job, no matter how much skill you think you have at your job, its still only a job.  Don't get it twisted.  People are the most important things and in the end that's what you will be judged on.  Your relationships with others and yourself.  If you can't see that, than let me be the one to tell you, you are immature and materialistic.  I don't mean you should try to make everyone else happy. You can't make everyone happy, so don't try.  Even people who love you (and those who don't) have their own agenda and their own version of right and wrong.  Don't stress that, cause those people will always not be satisfied no matter what you do. You don't know what really is going on in their lives and what misery or struggles they are going through. As long as you try to look at something from the other person's point of view and show empathy, which is hard sometimes, and then compare that with what you are feeling and want to do.  If you know what you are feeling, which a lot of people find difficult. All that materialistic stuff might make your life easier but not happier.  All religions of the world teach about, and it makes sense, how you interact with yourself and others in the world.  But only you are held accountable for your own happiness and misery and everything in between.
