Your neighbor wins the lottery—not you. How do you handle other people's good fortune? Are you glad for them, or do you detest their good fortune, wishing it had happened to you?

Why Is Time So Important?

What is it that can bring down empires, can literally shake down a craggy granite peak, yet has the power to heal a wound and change a life? Described as the greatest power on earth by some, that force is TIME. It was time that defeated Napoleon's forces at the gates of Russia's wealth. It is the erosion allowed by time's forces that will eventually split the granite peak and bring it crashing to the floor of the valley. It is time which allows healing of the human heart when the heart has been broken by loss and grief. Time has been described as the most powerful force on earth, for it ultimately brings down the mightiest of men. Some 200 years ago Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Dost thou love time? Then use time wisely, for that's the stuff that life is made of."
