Values are principles and ideas that bring meaning to the seemingly mundane experience of life. A meaningful life that ultimately brings happiness and pride requires you to respond to temptations as well as challenges with honor, dignity, and courage.

Research indicates that most women want their man to earn more than they do.

Learning to endure, transform by perspective or action, and be grateful is the fast lane to a good life. That's right. Having great luck and fortune is not the conduit to a loving and enjoyable life; gratitude is.

The meaning of your life comes through your obligations to others.

It is typical of women to fester and ferment over disappointments, slights, annoyances, angers, etc.

Postponing happiness until "all your ducks are in order" means never because life is not that clean, fair or predictable. It isn't what happens to you that defines your life, it is what you do with it that does.

Distance lasts a day. But Reality lasts a lifetime.
