We only live once... make it count! Life is short and we are all busy – sometimes too busy with the daily grind and pursuing dreams that may not have been meant to be. We can easily lose track of the most precious things in life as we become immersed in other things. When that happens we see a shift in our priorities and we lose sight of the important things in life.
Live honestly to a higher note. Life is too short. So, do the best you can and live your life to a higher note.

5 important things in life
Family
True Friends
Love
Your Calling
Good Health
1. Family
Family helps us develop a sense of values and creates a sense of belonging. Sometimes, it’s easy to forget just how much family means to us. They’re the people we live with and sometimes that is hard, however at the end of the day, we realize how much each member of our family means to us no matter how frustrated they can make us.
Family is irreplaceable and precious – make time to nature these relationships as you can never regain them once gone.
“Think of your family today and every day thereafter, don’t let the busy world of today keep you from showing how much you love and appreciate your family.”
– Josiah
2. True Friends
A true friend is someone who provides a shoulder to lean on, one you can share confidences with and be assured that these are kept secure. In times of need, a friend is "the voice of reason".
Always remember how lucky you are to have found someone you can truly call a good friend – these are few and far between.
“A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.”
– Unknown
3. Love
Love includes those things you enjoy doing and the positive interactions you others. This includes your family, friends and your calling. Experiencing love can give our life a sense of meaning and purpose.
There comes a time in your life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.
–Karl Marx
4. Your calling
This is how you make a difference. It is your passion, your life's work and your legacy. To find what you have a passion for, and to pursue that passion, is to find the means you’ll use to contribute your greatness to the world. When you find your calling, you will find what you do enjoyable and this will make it easier for you to be successful.
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand--and melting like a snowflake...
– Francis Bacon
5. Good Health
We tend to take good health for granted until we no longer have it. Take good care of your health - maintain a healthy lifestyle- so you have more time to enjoy the other most important things in your life. With good health you can spend more time with friends and family, enjoy the love in your life, and follow your passion to your heart’s content.
We only have one life and one body to care of, and we better do it right. You never know what tomorrow may bring and so we better live this life the best we can and be grateful for everything we have.
– Novak Djokovic
