Where you see despair, bring hope; where you see darkness, bring light; where you see sadness, bring joy.
--- St. Francis

Enjoy!
4) Be accountable through your goals. One of the ways that we can ensure that we are contributing at our highest level is to set goals and be accountable to them.
Goals challenge us.
They stretch us to think bigger and try harder than wewould without them. They help us measure our progress through life. When set for the right reasons, goals motivate us to take action when we're tired, to dream big when we're feeling small, and to persevere when we're facing obstacles.
5) Cherish your relationships. Nothing in life is more enriching than having close, genuine relationships with those you love. Relationships are not easy. They require attention, commitment, and a sincere desire to be close to another human being.
Miss out on true heartfelt relationships, and you will miss out on life itself.
6) Value your health. Leading health expert John Robbins, author of the book, Healthy at 100, says that in the last 100 years, we've added about 30 years to the average life expectancy of people in the industrializedworld. He says people are living longer today, but all too often, they are dying longer too. For some people, we've increased the human life span but not necessarily the human health span. Improve your health and you will dramatically improve your life.
7) Wisely use your financial resources. Financial success should be a by-product of doing everything else in our lives the right way.
Money is not the goal; it's the result of doing the right things, at the right time, on purpose.
Live well but not greedily. When you are financially successful, become a conduit to do even greater things for your place of worship, your community, and society.
8) Find ways to be compassionate with the world. There will always be people less fortunate than you.
The greatest gift you can give is to help another person in need, so when you see pain and suffering, alleviate it.
As St. Francis said, where you see despair, bring hope; where you see darkness, bring light; where you see sadness, bring joy.
