Measure of a Man

I watched the movie "The Bucket List" again last night and something hit me that I missed the first time. " It's difficult to measure the sum of a person's life. I believe you should measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you." That is really a profound statement and deserves some reflection.

Most people in today's world measure themselves by how much money they make and/or have accumulated. It's like they believe that whoever has the most toys when they die, wins. But you'll never see a Brink's truck following a hearse. We can't take our money with us when we die, but we can take our integrity.

Are you measuring up to your expectations? Have you taken the time to evaluate your expectations to determine whether they are "worthy" or "worldly?" It's never too late to set worthy goals.
