What Matters Most to Me

When asked what matters most to them, many will reply, “my family” or “my friends”, however I feel that it is so much more than that. While my family and friends do mean the world to me, I think it is true happiness and satisfaction with your life that matters most; doing things because it makes you happy—not worrying about what anyone else thinks. Several years ago my parents were divorced and as it crippled the family’s spirits, we soon came to realize that it was for the best. A painful situation was made for the better because both of my parents felt free and were themselves, more content. I say true happiness is most important because if one is truly satisfied with his or her life others are bound to follow. I guess you could say that the happiness of my family gave my own life true satisfaction.
