Thats a hard one, because I am not sure what is most important at this time. Everything I have done in the past was important at the time. I have a Masters Degree in Biology, that was important but not so much anymore. I earned a 3rd degree black belt and that was very important when I did it but not so much anymore. I also played college tennis on a college team and I had the best record that was important last year. I was a top swimmer in my younger years as well as football and baseball and I was very good at each sport. That was good in my growing up. Currently the best thing I have going is my girl friend as she has saved me from what would be a very sad life, she has brought so much joy and love into my life. So I have done so much and lots more than what I have said here, each was important at the time. I think we all are like that, setting goals and moving on when the goal is done. A good example is this, I was a martial arts instructor for about 20 years and had a couple of hundred students, then one year I was done with all that, why did I stop doing it, the answer is I had gotten all I wanted from it and I wanted to do something else. I can still teach and might someday but right now I am doing other things. Currently I am a tennis player. I think just learning who I am and being happy with me is what I am starting to do and it is a good thing. I know life seems complicated when you are young and it is, but when you get old you start looking at more important things and that tends to be simple and central about who you have become and what you can do with the time you have left.
