Musings from Jim Stovall's The Ultmate Gift

Of work
-there is a certain type of love that comes from a job well done

Of Money
-loving money leads to empty hollow lives. It is learning to love people and USE money that gives everything it’s proper perspective

Of Friends

Of Learning
-if you have the gift of learning you are really quite wealthy

Of Problems
-A problem is given to you for the lesson it will teach you

Of family
-People become a family when they love each other

Of Laughter
-In order to love life you have to enjoy it, laughing at both the good and the bad

Of Dreams
-Dreams and goals are the outward manifestations of the love we feel inside

Of Giving
-I use to think that if you gave something away you were left with less than before. In reality when you give out of love…both the giver AND the receiver have more than they started out with

Of Gratitude
-The golden list (of gratitude. Create this list each morning before you get out of bed to assure the best day

Of a Day
-If today was your last day on earth-how would you spend it?
When you contemplate your own mortality you realize how much life you have lived…not just how much you have left. Life is nothing more than a series of days and if we learn to live each one to the fullest, our lives will be rich and meaningful
Then best day is on e that is filled with the people I love

Of Love
-Love makes you a different person
