I came across an interesting blog that posted this excerpt from a book titled Life Matters. I wanted to share this with all of you as it definitely made me think about my life and what matters most.
For decades, life balance has been a huge issue in our society. Even now, in a time when most of us are quicker to connect with what matter most, there's still a gap- sometimes an enormous gap-between what we say matters most and the way we actually spend our time and money.
If you want to get an idea of how significant this gap may be in your own life, just take a minute and pull out your planner or calendar. Pull out your checkbook or credit card statement. Look at where you've spent your time and money over the past few weeks. Do those spending decision really reflect the things that matter most to you?

This is NOT a MasterCard commercial!
I have about $10 left and I had to choose between lottery and beer..... I figured that the odds of winning is slim so I chose the instant gratification of a beer.... mmmm, so nice......
I had a Hoegaarden today. Nice Belgian beer. It's like a hard lemonade...quite interesting. You probably won't even realize that you are drinking a beer...
I think I made the right choice because the gratification is perceptible...and a beer goes so well with people watching on a sunny Saturday afternoon (and don't forget to play the Bavarian music in your head!!!). I think the money was well spent...
