“Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.”
-Albert Einstein (Theoretical Physicist, 1879-1955)
What do people keep score counting?
- Personal offenses
- Failures
- Money
- Hours slept
- Points in games like touchdowns and goals
- Length of pain
- Times not chosen
- Missing items
- Stolen possessions
Are these items that really matter or make a difference over time? Hardly.
On the other hand, what IS worthwhile in life that matters and counts but cannot be quantified? Try these:
- Love for one another, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control
- Quality of relationships
- Depth of friendships
- Loyalty
- Wisdom
- Honesty
How will you spend your time counting during your lifetime? Choose wisely.
