Worthwhile

For every goal you will have in your life there is one indisputable fact.  Any worthwhile endeavor starts and is sustained by the love and support of family and friends. 

No one single friend or family member will ever be able to sustain you by themselves.  Some people may have larger roles and some smaller key roles.  The roles everyone has will change and develop over time.  Not every person will fully appreciate and understand the role they have in your life. 

All of the complexities of this are not important at all.  No need to try and figure out who is who or where they belong in the order   You just need to know that the love of family and friends are some of the most important resources that you have.  Always use them when they are extended to you. 

The real secret is that it is as important to give this love and support as it is to receive it.  It is a karma thing, what you give, you will receive.  This is true no matter what your age is, but especially true if you are between 8 - 80 years old.

Last thing...your parents know how much you love them.  That starts when you are very young and continues into adulthood.  We just never tire of hearing it...
