Hey Tim, You Said A Short List! Now you make me feel like half a man - but I am working on it. Thanks for the invitation. The piece should make everyone stop and think of what their priorities in this life are and whether we are really enjoying the blessings that life bestow on us. Thanks, My Friend For Your Friendship. maxinvegas

Thank you Jim, As always beautifully thought out and written. The result of the challenges in my present life would, to many peoples perspective, appear to be failure, but the points that you raise make it obvious to me that I have much success. Happiness is the result of a good life and I realise that when, I manage to swallow the false pride that the aquisition of materials has given me, I am still left with a pride in my modest acheivements, so my loss of much of my things really isn't important. I am reminded of those in Java and other parts of the world who are sorely challenged by natures forces but I know that the power of love will soon bring even these poor people back to a realisation that there is almost always something to give thanks for. I thank God that through his love we can expect an eternity of happiness in his presence. Roger

Hi, Tim I hadn't heard Mr. Rohn on this subject before, at least not to remember in detail. JR beat me to the comment, but I agree...this list is not in the proper order. In fact, I'm surprised at the order, given my understanding of Mr. Rohn's philosophy. Just goes to show you, no matter how respected you are and how true your words, you must still take care in presenting them. Cheri

Hi Tim, How very true. You have to work hard to play hard. And both are necessary. We should also never forget to give back what we take from our communities. Thank you for the article. Your Good Friend Deborah

You left out a VERY important aspect of life! HEALTH!!! Without health, life is not much worth living if you have to fight constant health issues daily! Tom :o) http://www.switchtosuccess.com/scubapro48
