21DJC Day 5 – Who Is the Most Important Person to You in the World?

This is Day 5 of the 21-Day Journaling Challenge held in Nov 2011. The challenge is now over but you can do the tasks in your own time. Visit the overview page for all the challenge tasks.Empty book for journalingHi everyone – Welcome to Day 5 of 21DJC! :)Yesterday’s question was this: “If You Are To Travel Back in Time to 3 Years Ago, What Advice Would You Give Yourself?“.All your responses were AMAZING. It certainly feels like many of you have grown and evolved immensely in just the past 3 years, hasn’t it? That while others may be sleepwalking their life away during that time, you have been making your life count. For that, I’m so happy for all of you. I’m so proud that all of you are here, at Personal Excellence, united as one community, one family. This feeling is indescribable. It’s sort of like I feel like I’m a big momma that feels protective of all of you, and there’s this surging sense of pride from seeing how far you’ve come these past few years.So where was I 3 years ago? 3 years ago was November 2008. I had just quit my brand management job at Procter & Gamble, and was just starting my personal development business. I was full of fire and enthusiasm about my cause; I still am today and will forever be that way. It’s been 3 years running the business, and yet it feels like I just started it yesterday. Time certainly loses its significance when you are doing what you really love. :)If I were to travel back in time 3 years ago, I would tell my younger self:
  1. Do what you’re doing now. You’re absolutely on the right track.
  2. Follow your heart and trust your gut instincts as you always have. It has never steered you wrong, and it will continue to bring you to the right place.
  3. Nothing has ever happened for you to lose faith, so there’s no reason to have doubts in anything.
  4. If there’s ever anyone who is a cancerous agent to your path, let him/her go. There are 7 billion people in this world – For anyone who doesn’t resonate with your current consciousness, there will be ten thousands of people out there who do.
  5. Live. Love. Breathe.
With that said, let’s now move on to today’s question! ;)

  1. The most important person to me in the whole world is my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. He loves me and cares for me, He provides for me each day. Over the years I have realized that without His help I can do nothing.
    When I was a child my parents were the most important people in my life. Later it was my husband and my children. Now I realize that these important people are part of my life because of the providence of God.

  2. This is a very difficult to say. Because every person in my life is most important to me.
    Let’s start with my family.
    1. My GrandFather- He is the most dearest person to me. He is very intelligent and i am inspired by him very much. Secret my grand father now at the age of 75 give my grandmother surprise gifts and love her so much. He never get angry on us.
    2. My Father- He is one of the hard working man i have ever seen so he always inspire me to do hard work. Like his father he also love mom very much and take good care of her. Mutual understanding of my mom and papa is just unbelievable.
    3. My Sister’s and my brother- My sister’s are like angels to me. If i need something i just have to tell them and the thing will be with me within a short time. When i did something wrong they save me from mom and dad’s anger. In short my sisters are my everything. My brother, he is a silent guardian of me. He doesn’t say much but care for me more than anything else and never let me take burdon. I love and salute my brother, he is such a wonderful and calm person i have seen. Hey everyone i’m one of the luckiest person to have such a wonderful and full of love family. i am the youngest yippee.
    4. My brother in law’s- They are not my brothers but love me and cares for me like a brother. They (my sister’s and brother in law’s) have great chemistry. And my cute cute nephew’s, how can i forget them. List is very long, so let’s take a stop.
    5. My First and last love- My sweet sweet girlfriend. Although we are from a different background different culture i’m from north India and she is from east India, our chemistry is awesome. We are having some complications but that’s ok, because there is no happiness without difficulties. She encourage me to do things i never dreamed off. But now i became a totally different person hard working, smart, mature and risk taker. She gives me hope when i was like, i can’t handle anything. I start knowing myself because of her. When i was away from home she was my sister when i need a sister, my mom when i need mom, my dad when i need my dad and friend when i need a friend and lover when i need love. So I thanks to her for making me a worthy personality from a stupid person and being with me.
    During my graduation there was time when i got seriously sick, and i was of afraid of lacking by one semester that means waste of one year. But then a lovely voice came- don’t worry i am with you and everything gonna be ok. Then she made all my assignment’s, my exam notes and most important my project report. At the end of the day i got out with more than 3/4 gpa.
    6. My friends- They always encourage to be better. They helped me in my rainy days without any question. From them i learn how to remain happy in every situation. And one special friend i will never going to forget because i hurt her unknowingly. I want to say sorry for that.

  3. So, I opened the site to see today’s question. I saw the title, and I felt annoyed…how COULD I pick a single most important person? It just isn’t fair, to single out my mother,over my father or grandparents over parents, or a family member, while leaving out my best friend? So I just closed the window – thinking I’ll skip this task.
    But a few minutes later, a thought popped up in my head – The single most important person in my life is ME. So, I came back. This time I read the whole text and found out that Celes did mention ‘yourself’ as an option :)
    I am not being dismissive of others. There are very,very important people in my life . I would be nothing without other people,without giving back. Not only my family and close friends, but also everybody who thought me a lesson along the way, mattered.

    But I am the key part. Here are a few reasons. I am the constant in my life. Others drift apart, or sadly, die. My personal system of thoughts, believes, and lenses are the way the world is for me. Others can provoke my views, push me in a certain direction, but ultimately, I make myself. When it comes to doing something, only I can motivate myself, make choices and create my life. And lastly, in order to give something back to others – I need to love myself and to firstly take care of myself – that’s the only way I can be of use to them.

    Only I am constant. Only I can make myself. Only I can make my life. And to be able to best give back – I need to be a whole person.

    Sure, there is the other way – sleepwalking trough life or giving up personal responsibility. But that’s not who we on this board are :)

    • yea very true Ivona, how can we choose one over the other when everyone is so important to us. i like your post. :clap:

  4. My most important people are my brother, my dad, a few friends at school i’ve gotten really close to, a friend of mines in the Philippines I look up to as my kuya and my friend in Swedan whom I’ve gotten know and opened up to due to similar things in our lives. My brother I’ve looked out for and in a way he’s looked out for me too. We help each other out, fight each other, push each others buttons and learned a lot from each other. I really can’t imagine what I would be like if i were an only child or if something happened to him. He can be blunt, aggressive and douchey but I still love him.
    My dad I feel is one of my role models in my life. I don’t think i could be the person I am if it weren’t for the conversations we had and him being there to hold us together when our lives were going down the toilet. I don’t think I’ve ever had someone I wanted to learn from as much as my dad and I hope I can continue learning a lot from him.
    there are quite a few friends I feel really close to that I’ve been able to open up to and talk about things in my life, especially things i don’t even feel comfortable thinking about that’s happened in my and my family’s lives. We gone through a lot and we had a lot of fun and I can’t imagine not being friends with them because if something did happen I’d probably apologize profusely ;)
    My kuya I really look up to. Even though it started off as a pen pal I learned a lot from him because as an artist he is further down the road than I am. I was able to learn a lot from him when it came to art, and I find his art and inspiriation. I always look forward to the conversations we have and the things we like. I can’t really imagine for him as well what I would be like as an artist without him and someday when i go to manilla I’ll be sure to visit him
    My friend in Swedan I think I share a lot in common with. Recently he found out about something that really hit him hard and out of respect I probably won’t say. However after hearing certain things about myself and my family I don’t think it was difficult for me to comprehend and as of right now its something we both talk to each other about and try to get through. We’ve had a lot of conversations even before we found out about things we probably shouldn’t have and I’ve learned a lot from him. I have to laugh because he tells me the same thing. Like my kuya he’s someone most people would consider as a pen pal but after the many conversations we’ve had and things we taught each other I really find him someone i look up to, which shouldn’t be hard to do since he’s already really tall XP
    In the end these are some of the people I look up to and I can’t imagine my life without them. They’ve taught me so much and helped me be the person i am today ;)

  5. My mom. I don’t care what anyone else says, my mom is the best! I love her so much! She’s the strongest, smartest, most caring person I know! And for that she is my role model.
    She’s been through a lot in her life, including her husband passing away…my dad. Although extremely unfortunate that was, as he was so very young, as were we, but it has only made us stronger people. My mom raised us on her own as a single mother, only ever looking out for what was best for us. My mom is a strong woman.
    Only the best advice comes out of her mouth, and I believe that I’ve picked up that trait and I’m ever so thankful! That is why she is one of the smartest people I know, along with her actual brain capacity of course!
    My mom cares about anyone and everyone…what a great characteristic! She loves all my friends, and they all consider her their second mom! That’s how awesome she is…everyone wants her as their own!
    She’s a different kind of mom, not the typical kind. Doesn’t cook all the time, bake cookies, or clean the house. Instead, she prefers to go on family trips, work at her office, and hangout with the people she loves. She is the best mom ever! Moms don’t need to do that kind of stuff, all moms are required to do is love her children and take care of them, and that my friends she does extraordinarily well!
    My mom is the best person I know and I strive to be exactly like her one day! I already am her twin, and I’m developing some of her many amazing characteristics, so I’m well on my way!

    • It sounds amazing that you look up to your mom like that. It sounds like she’s your role model and from how you describe her she must be a great person to know ;

  6. Well, like many before me, the most important person to me in the world, is me.

    I had I a hard time coming to this conclusion and tossed around the many possibilities for this question. I was surprised to find myself saying, “will so and so be offended I didn’t pick them??” “Would someone think less of me that I picked this person??” That’s when I knew, the most important person has to be me and what I think for myself. I am clearly still battling the right to make my own choices and have my own opinions regardless of what my friends and family might think. But here is WHY I am the most important person in the world to me:

    Because of my mother and father, who have nurtured and cared for me and helped to support me in every sense of the word along the way. When I have needed to be hugged, to be helped, to be moved, to be bailed out…they have made me the most important person that is strong enough to choose herself and see her worth.

    Because of my sisters, biological and acquired through love, who have held me up and shown me how special I am, what I contribute to their lives and the lives of others, that I matter because I am me and no one else. They have helped me to shape myself into a more loving and giving person. They have supported my interests and been there to celebrate my achievements! They listened to me and shared in my journey that has given me the gift to allow myself to pick me!

    Because of my best friend and perfect mate Jeff who has loved me even when I couldn’t love myself. Who has seen me at my best and worst and always looked at me with the same unconditional love in his eyes at both of those times like I wasn’t any different for it either way. He has shown me many things over the years, great joy, great learning and has led me to grow more and more as a person. He has challenged me to be the best that I can in this life causing me to pick me as the most important person in the world.

    I am the most important person in the world to me and I can say it out loud and even smile while I do it!! That is a beautfil thing!!

    • I think that is really awesome you have such a warm and loving community like that. Kinda leaves a nice feeling reading your comment. Oh and I love your icon. Maleficent is just plain AWESOME! ;)

      • Thanks Bryan,
        I do believe that I am very lucky for the support group enviroment that I am blessed to have. I think that it is not as common as one might think and I am glad that you pointed it out to me as well. Something not to be taken for granted….and Maleficent is one awesome villianess!! =D

  7. I cannot answer this question. I’ve thought about it for almost an entire day now. Literally everyone in my entire life experience have been important to me in some way. And beyond that, though I am unaware directly, literally every human being on this planet who has ever lived has given an important contribution to me even though they didn’t know it or weren’t aware of it just as I am not fully aware of how my experience and legacy–my life will have affected everyone else on this planet. Ultimately, I feel that no one person is more important than another. We just attach value to them and/or our relationship with them based upon our own personal values most of which are culturally and socially imprinted unconsciously upon us from birth.

    If I had to get real personal I would say my Mother has loved and cared for me more than anyone else in my entire life (even though many times I’ve doubted that).

  8. I would have to say myself. It does seem a bit selfish (pardon the pun), but honestly if I am not taking a care of myself, how can I effectively, productive and positively interact with all those around me, be them my husband, my family, my friends, my co-workers, or people I have not gotten to know yet. This means taking good care of my health and outlook. Health is the easy bit since I have control over many of it, from diet to exercise to sleep. I have been lucky not to have a chronic illness. I have had sadly to major surgeries, one was an accident that disfigured my face, but I am glad I got the plastic surgery done to correct things so I look ‘acceptably normal’ to those I interact with. The other was a fluke of inside nature that took its course, but I am glad it was taken care of. So yes, dealing with health issues would be much more of a problem if I were chronically ill. I just have my annoying allergies, which I wish would go away. Regarding the other item, the outlook, now that is all to do with attitude. People who interact with me see me as an optimist. Little do they know I am far from that on the inside, and it is by active work to train my outlook to present the optimism and support. I do need to work out better ways to nourish and sustain my outlook to make me steady. And then I will indeed continue to effectively, productively and positively interact with all my fellow humans about me. After all, we are community creatures and lots of the greatest achievements our species has ever completed has been by teamwork. When I do think of carrying for myself and emphasizing myself, it is not for ego or self-indulgence, but in the mindset of how I best perform among others.

  9. For me this is a tough question and it is not as easy for me to decide…but i will try. First of all one of most important persons in my life is my mother because regardless of her imperfections and many misunderstandings that we have she is always around through good and bad, trough breakups and falling in love…etc She also always have my back and supports me in everything i do, emotional and financially.
    Then most important person in my life is definitely me. I am the one that controls my fate and who will be around me and who will not, i also control when i will be happy and when not and most importantly i control my thoughts which control my future and life!

    And last but not least i tend to make biggest priority person the one i am in a relationship with, my partner with who i share everything and every aspect of my life and my personal growth. I think that the ONE most important person in my life is yet to come as my life partner and my soul mate.

  10. The most important person to you in the world

    1. Myself- I have learnt that i have to put myself right at the top to be able to have meaningful relationships with others.

    2. My daughter- i am a mother and it is only maternal to love your own kin.

  11. The most important person to me in the world is myself, and not in an egoistic sense, but in the sense that only by cultivating love inside myself I can give it to others, and thus my well-being is important, and I need to take care of myself. After all, each and every one of us creates a kind of a universe for himself, and a universe where some other person is more important than you are, cannot be yours. Every person’s life is sacred, and the purpose of life is to live YOUR own life, which is unique. And even though I find it hard sometimes, and in the past I’ve had some bad moments of clinging onto people and refusing to live my own life, I do remind myself all the time that if I pass no importance to myself, then why am I on this planet at all? Of course, there are a lot of people I love and admire, and am grateful to, and ready to give everything I have to them, parents and friends, but I hope I made it understandable that I attach a different meaning to “importance”.

  12. I don’t really have anybody in specific who is more important. I love my family, my friends, my enemies, strangers, etc. but if I could only choose one…I think I’d choose my mom. She’s the #1 person who’s given it all to allow me to have the life I have now. While I do also have myself, without my mom’s sacrifices and unlimited love I wouldn’t be here today. There is also my dad but he’s never lived with me and between mom and dad, I’d choose mom. I truly wish my mom to be happy and enjoy the years she has left. I’d do anything to make her happy as long as it’s not something against my goals and moral values. I love my mom but this is also to note it does not mean I don’t love all of my awesome family and friends as well. They are all unique in their own ways and 110% special, more than they think. Also, I love Celes and the community at the personal excellence blog as well. I love you all! :D *HUGS*

  13. it’s my mother ,I love her and I need her so much dspite the difference between us

  14. ninschubur 14 years ago

    The most important person to me is my Mom. She was always there for me, went though a divorce when I was a toddler, went working all her life so our family was financial independend, got married again, got me a little sister and a little brother, bought a big home for our family and my grandparents, raised me to a beautiful and intelligent and independend woman, had me adopted from my father when I was 25 years old and took me back in her house after my divorce 2 years ago. She is a wonderful person and teached me all my ethical values, for example the telling the truth, independence, sports, handling money, getting a good job, punctuality, table manners and so on.

    The medal has two sides: Beside this, she relieved me of many things, which I have to learn now to life my own life and not hers. These are things like getting the job I want to do, to love the person whom I think is right, get me an own appartment, you can say: to grow up at the end of the day.

    I know: regardless of what I will do, she will be there for me all the time. She teached me the real values of a loving family.

  15. This answer comes easily to me, however I cannot go with one person. The most important two people to me in my life are my daughters, Madison age 9 and Olivia age 5.
    At one time if I had been ask this question, my answer would absolutely have been my grandmother that raised me. Having the loss of my grandfather my senior year in high school and then 4 months later my aunt passed away. My aunt was my grandparents’ oldest daughter and then my mother. These losses were devastating to me. At the same time, after losing her husband, the loss of my grandmother’s daughter was the worst ordeal she had to go through. I can’t imagine losing a child. I was close to my grandmother and after these loses, I clung to her more than ever. Then she passed away 11 years ago. That moment had consumed my life. Lost without her, I turned to other things to ease that pain. I didn’t care because honestly I didn’t want to live. I prayed for death just to see her again in a Heaven she had raised me to believe in.
    Then in 2001, I was in a severe car wreck that had cracked bones in my back and neck. I wasn’t paralyzed and I should have been thankful. Instead, I was so angry that I had survived. I didn’t understand why I had to live through the agony of losing my immediate family. 3 months after the wreck, I found out I was pregnant with my first daughter. It seemed to me a sign from a Higher Power letting me know there was a reason I was still here.
    For 3 years, I made Madison my life and felt thankful that I had survived the wreck and other things I had done to self destruct. Then I found out I was pregnant with my second daughter.
    This was after a miscarriage the year before. I struggled during my pregnancy with difficult things. The father of my children walked out. I wasn’t in the position to take care of 1 child, much less 2. During this time, I held on to my oldest daughter because I felt like we were the only two people in the world. I worked to get things straightened out and Madison was the most important person to me. Olivia was born that January and all my fears of not loving her the same as Madison subsided. She was beautiful and looked so much like Madison had as a baby. My love for them is the same. They are different people with different personalities and I love both of them very much.
    I put my beautiful daughters on the bus this morning, as I do every morning before starting an entry. I enjoy our time in the mornings. I am very proud of how well they both do in school and how they both excel in different areas. I would gladly give my life for my two children. They are a blessing and they are the most important persons to me in the entire world.

  16. P.Callychurn 14 years ago

    The most important person in my life remains my mother. She is no more in this world to-day. Widowed at a very young age in very tragic circumstances, when I was five , the eldest of 3 sons , the youngest being hardly a month. She had to struggle hard, very hard indeed, in a cruel and hostile environment to bring up her children. She even refused a re-marriage proposal for the sake of her children. In those days the majority of the people were poor, and we were the poorest. She had to work 6 days a week, and on Sundays try to earn a few pennies by doing odd jobs available in the neighbourhood. In addition she had to cook food , rear animals, goats ,cows and poultry to ensure basic , food and clothing for the family. What courage and willpower she displayed will remain a mystery for us and for the people around. Suffice it to say that, at a time when more than 50% of the population could not afford to send their children for primary schooling, she made sure her children studied up to secondary level. Herself, being illiterate and vulnerable.
    When I completed my secondary education, I was selected to be a teacher. But the appointment letter did not comer due to administrative constraints. When my mother came to know about it she had to hide her frustration , and encouraged me to study further stressing that she could still work, and reflecting that the worst days were behind us.
    As we grew up, I became a Teacher, my second brother, Police Officer, and the youngest also joined the teaching profession. And my mom continued to work towards buying a potion of land to have a house and a home of our own.
    In a next phase my brothers decided with my mother’s consent that I should go to India for University studies. I completed my degree , came back to Mauritius changed job , offering better perspective and made it to the top of the administrative structure. My two brothers also persevered in their respective field. All through my mother remained the main focus, the single source of inspiration.
    In between we got married had children of our own, got busy in family circumstances and professionally. It is not that we did not looked after our mother as we should have, the daughter-in-laws too being quite attentive, but we failed to understand what her priorities were , how to go about it. Deep down we remained traditional , where the situations warranted modern understanding and approach to family problems . Like how to go about attending to my ailing mother in a continuous and consistent manner where the responsibilities were shared among three brothers, each one as concerned to give the best.
    Now that she is not around I keep thinking of all that I could have done but was not able to do for many reasons, the main one being my own incapacity to respond to calls of assistance and support. All I can do now is to wish and pray that if ever I have to live my life again, I want to have this grand lady as my mom, and pray that I am gifted with that strength and willpower to play my role as a son unto the end. It’s not surprising that in many societies women are considered as Goddesses. For me, my mother will remain a goddess.
    Sona.

    • I think your mother would be proud to read these lines.

      • P.Callychurn 14 years ago

        Than you Andreea.You could not have summed up what I wanted to express in better terms .warmest regards.
        sona.

  17. When I first saw this question I thought well I know what is should be and that’s me.

    For someone that often puts others first I want to change my thinking without being too selfish. I’ve read so much lately about loving yourself first before you can truly love anyone else or they can love you. What we believe about ourselves we tend to attract in partners.

    My next thought was my Sister, she’s so important to me. No matter what has happened to her she has remained strong and is always so supportive and thoughtful. I wouldn’t like to draw the line there as I realize there are so many people that are important to me not just one person. My best friend for being the best person I can talk to and always being there and of course my family, they have their faults but I still love them dearly and so many of my good friends that we share our lives and experiences together.

  18. My mother. She’s my best friend. I can’t imagine how my life would have been without her. We have a very close relationship, I’m still her little kid and I must say I enjoy being spoiled and protected and loved in the most special way. I would do anything for her and she did everything to make sure I’m alright too. We had a rough life, but there was never lack of love, understanding, laughters. She gave it all to me and I hope I will make her proud of me. She already says she is, but I feel like I haven’t done enough. I am trying to learn as much as I can from her, to cherish every single moment, so when the moment comes and she goes to a better world… I won’t have regrets, or unsaid words and feelings.
    The other “person” I could never live without is God. I could never give up on mom or on my faith in God.

  19. Most important person in my world is my ‘Mum’

  20. Who is the most important person in the world to you?

    Shoot, I have a hard time picking my favorite color. I shall ponder this out loud:

    For starters, for the sake of this discussion I will say that God is not “in this world” in the context that the questions seems to have been stated. So she’s off the list.

    In order to stay alive and not go crazy or seriously depressed we all have to be, in some ways, somewhat selfish. So much of our time and life force goes in to just BEING. So in some ways our actions might be saying that we each, I, am the most important person in the world.

    Yet, we are, most of us, built with the the ability to Love. Which gives us another dimension, beyond ourselves, in which to experience others. In the dimension of Love, we can care about others far beyond how we care about ourselves. For me that most important person, beyond our selves, is going to be someone I Love.

    For someone that is very dependent, like a child, that most important person might be their mother, who gives them love, food, shelter, care – so many things that they need to survive coming from one person upon whom they completely rely.

    When we are older and have learned to be more self reliant, that can shift. Maybe later it is your wife, and not your mother.

    I have “in this world” my father, siblings, wife, children, friends and associates. I love my family. I have two children, so there is no way I pick ONE of them for this exercise.

    The answer is: My wife, Janet.

  21. The most important person to me in the world is my mother, i have gone through so many challenges and difficult times in life, but i was only able to survived them because my mum was there for me, her support, attention, care and love really helped me to break through. without her i would not be a graduate today, she went through hell just to sponsor my education and my sibling’s education.
    i remembered when i was sick, i was hospitalized for three month, i could not walk or do anything by myself, she stood by me, even when every other person lost hope in me surviving the illness, she did not lose hope, she kept encouraging me that, it will come to past.i am what i am today because of her, she is the most wonderful being in my life.
    i am just grateful i have a caring and loving mother like her, she is all i have got in this world after my God. i pray that God would give me the strength to repay her and be a grateful daughter to her.she is so dare and important to me.

  22. The most important person for me is my mother – without her I wouldn’t have exist!! She has taken care of me from second one and I am not what I am today without her. She would have died for me, I know that. I cannot say more………..

  23. Fantastic me, my lovely husband and my wonderful three children. You know what? It feels good to see me there too!

  24. This answer was a little difficult for me to whittle down to. But the most important person to me is a close friend of mine. This person has helped me to overcome certain fears and helped me to cross boundaries and take leaps of faith where my fear normally would paralyze me from acting.

    I used to be a really serious person and perceive things too critically. But conversations with my friend, I’m now able to let go. To just soak in how the world as it is, and be happy. To accept the world with flaws and all. My friend has been a source of inspiration and solace in my daily struggle to find my purpose and passion.

  25. Hi Celes & everyone :)

    I found this question to be the most interesting one so far.

    My parents and my brother are the most important people for me. But, if I had to pick one person who is most important in my life, then it would definitely be me, MYSELF!!

    I am the most important person to me because everything in my life is about ME. This might sound like being very selfish, but it is the truth.

    For example, when I do something for my family or friends, I could say I did it for them. But the truth is that I did it because they are MY family or MY friends and I care about them. Even when I do something for strangers, it is because I feel for that person or the cause.

    It is always about “I, ME and MYSELF”. Whether it be connecting with people or doing something for someone, everything starts from me, what I want, how I feel, what I need, etc. So, I AM the most important person in my life :D

  26. Who Is the Most Important Person to You in the World?

    My wife Catherine because she is loving, caring always gently guiding, inspiring, thoughtful, courageous, clever. She is guiding light, a smart wonderful partner. Catherine is a positive thinker and takes whatever life hands us and turning it into something good. She is patient, helping our family to make the best of ourselves. She generous and warm – a real rock of love. I love you Catherine

  27. Ron Paul is the most important person in the world to me. He signifies intelligence, empathy, and a clear desire to return the U.S.A. to the Constitutional values upon which this country was based. Dr. Paul wishes that all persons, regardless of faith, creed, or race, have an opportunity to do well in school, in life, in health, in happiness and ensures FREEDOM, that most valuable gift of life, to all persons.

  28. The most important person to me in the world is my mother. She has sacrificed so much for her daughters. And she has worked so hard to make me and my sister’s life better. I love her with all my heart and all my life.

    My mom. I’ve never met anyone quiet like her in my life. She has been through so much in her life and no matter how many knocks life has given her, she gets back up dusts herself off and says ‘Tomorrow will be a better day’.

    She is my comfort & strength on the darkest of days and even on the happy days she is like a ray of sunshine that just warms your whole being. I can’t imagine my life without her.

    My mom is the best friend that is always true, obviously a mom with a heart of gold (even though she’ll kick your butt when it’s required haha), someone who is wise beyond her years, has a spiritual belief that endures all the trials of life & still thanks God each day for giving her another day to live. She is patient, encouraging, motivating & loving. Always there to help you back on your path when you feel you’ve stumbled one too many times.

    She is my inspiration! She’s the most important person on the planet to me and why wouldn’t she be?! After all she has shaped me to the amazing adult that I am.

  30. Myself. As I have become aware that my current life is so because it is me and me alone who is the designer of this. The responsibilities/associations and decisions I have taken are created by me and hence it is important for me to take care of self in all aspects like physical and mental in order to be able to handle my life effectively with a peace of mind and keep growing. The quality of my daily actions would be directly proportional to the peak of health of myself.
