Some of the things that have been the most meaningful to me have been experiences I've shared with my family.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For the last five or six years the most important thing in my life has been my family.
My family's the most important thing in my life.
In one way or another, everybody has this experience in their lives... the moment when you have to define your relationship to family and how your family's made you who you are, whether you've spent your life running from your family or deeply connected to your family.
My family is the most important thing to me because they're always there for me when times are down.
Back in the old days, when I was a child, we sat around the family table at dinner time and exchanged our daily experiences. It wasn't very organized, but everyone was recognized and all the news that had to be told was told by each family member. We listened to each other and the interest was not put on; it was real.
I had a very supportive family environment that gave me room to explore and discover things about myself.
Relationships with parents, grandparents, friends, and siblings were important to me when I was young and have remained so throughout my life. Our relationships with other people both shape and reflect who we are. These relationships are infinitely fascinating to explore!
My family is the most important thing to me.
I talk to our kids now that they are grown up, and I ask them about the experiences that had growing up that really had a powerful influence on the way they view the purpose of life. The experiences that really shaped their values - my wife and I have no memory of those experiences!
Everything I've experienced, things that my friends have experienced and we talk about, things that are on the news - all aspects of life are in my message.
