"Surely there comes a time when counting the cost and paying the price aren't things to think about any more. All that matters is value - the ultimate value of what one does"
- James Hilton
About this Quote
This quote by James Hilton speaks to the concept that at some time in life, we must move beyond the practical factors to consider of cost and rate and rather focus on the worth of our actions. This is a reminder that life is not just about the tangible, however also about the intangible. It is about the impact we have on others and the legacy we leave behind. It has to do with the minutes we produce and the memories we share. It has to do with the love we provide and the joy we bring. Ultimately, it has to do with the worth of our actions and how they form the world around us. We need to aim to make our lives significant and to make a difference in the lives of those around us. We should aim to make our lives count.
