Life values
Sometimes because of a hectic person ceases to see the thing in life and devotes all his time to the details. Later, looking back on your life, he might regret that there was so. So you do not regret the years spent, and not wanting to again start life with a clean slate, you need time to realize its mission.
Different people can be different values. Someone most of the time gives the work, beloved. The other focuses on his family. The third devotes himself to charity, helping other people. And the fourth is wasting precious time wasted. Not to say that there is some kind of universal Supreme value in life which should be given more attention. Each must determine for himself what was important.
Sometimes it is the most difficult thing - self-determination, prioritization. But I guess it can be argued that the most important thing in life is to live in harmony with yourself. Only in this case it is possible to feel happy, to understand, in what direction should develop. For a sense of inner peace may require different things: the possibility of self-realization, a sense of self-worth to society, love of family and so on.
