Time is a very valuable commodity in today's society. It is something that we all have the same amount of (not lifespan just we all have 24 hours a day and 7 days per week) no matter our gender or social standings. There are certain things that we have to allow for, such as sleep and work. There is, however, a certain amount of "free time" that we choose how to fill.
How do we make the choice of what to do? Who do we spend our time with? If we had the resources available, how would we spend our time differently?
I think that we choose what to do based on our priorities. We tend to make time for the things that are truly important to us. We also have "luggage" that we take with us and that can affect our choices. But, what do our choices tell others about who we truly are?
Who we spend our time with can tell us about ourselves. Do we "hang out" with people because they are there or because we truly enjoy their company? Do we spend our time with people who build us up or tear us down? Personally, I try to spend my time with people that I respect and who show me respect as well (this has not always been true).
How would our priorities change if we had the finsncial resources to do anything? How would our lives be different? What if we had an unlimite amount of free time?
My conversations lately have almost had themes, but I guess I missed the memo because it keeps catching me off gaurd. The latest theme is - what would it take for you to feel like your life was a success? My answer is - I would be successful if I could truly make a lasting difference in one life.
So I ask you the same question - How would you define success?

I think that spending time around those who build us up is important. I also think that helping people be their best is what I fidn quite satisfying.
