Finding the value in things and people often requires that we look. When the brain bypasses so much information that seems irrelevant to us, it is easy to see why we miss things. It is up to us to stop and pay attention to people and our surroundings. Value surrounds us all the time, we…
The Value of One Second
If there ever was a waste in life, it would be that of a second. Seconds move so quickly that we seldom value them at all. If only we realized how they are the building blocks of life, then perhaps we would not waste so many of them. On their own, seconds are insignificant, although…
The Value of One Expectation
We tend to get what we expect out of life. For some, that means they will get nothing. Life has beat them down to the point that they do not believe anything good will happen to them. Living each day is a drudgery, wasting time away until the day it is over. If at this…
The Value of One Hint
Not much can replace the value of wisdom. We may be born ignorant, but we do not have to stay that way. If we do, then that is mostly on us. Life gives us hints, similar to hints in trivia. These words will paint a picture that should help steer us in the right direction.…

The Value of One Objective
An undisciplined life is one of trouble. If we have no objectives in life, who knows where we will end up. We cannot be wishy-washy because life is precious. The world has countless people who have sought more life and were denied, whether it was of time or health. Something is always after our focus,…
The Value of One Day
Where did the day go? How many times have we asked that question and wondered where all that time went? Most of us never plan out the day yet we all want more time. That is the one thing we will never get because there is no such thing as extra time. What is more…
The Value of One Job
We will never enjoy our work so much as when we give it our all. When all is consumed, we will have climbed to the highest peak using every tool our disposal. Not many will join us, but the view is magnificent! Work ethic keeps us going long past the desire to quit. A job…
