Life is short; check your priorities

Too often we sit around and complain about everything in life, and I include myself in this. Then we read about some small child who has cancer, and has more guts than I do. Or we see our soldiers, with all these terrible injuries. And some who don't come back.
You see their attitude toward life, and the way they don't let anything get in their way.
There are so many things in life we can't change, so what does really matter? We often let self get in the way, and we don't keep our priorities in check.
Life is short. Hopefully, we'll see what is important in life, and keep our heart focused on it.
