You have a good question there. Kudos.
For me, things that makes my life worth it is when i make a person happy or comfortable with his everday life.
It doesn't matter if it is my galfren, family, relatives, friends, strangers or even you.
It makes me satisfied and worthwhile to make other people happy and enjoy their life. It would be a boon for me if i can lessen their burdens. The feelings is just so nice to see them smile at you!
Nice question there again!

No Time for Spiritual Things
How little time indeed has man for any spiritual happening, although he himself, his real ego, his spirit, is a part of this happening, simply through the very fact that he originates in the Spiritual Realm. There is his paradisial home, which he has left in the urge and longing to become conscious.
Here, on earth a man who immigrates to another country does not forget his homeland. He at least thinks back to it now and then and might even be overcome by homesickness for the land of his earthly origin.
Yet he no longer knows anything of his spiritual home, which lies far above in Paradise. Not even a divining of it arises within him. And yet the spirit, filled with repressed longing, is always waiting for the dark walls built around it by human guilt to be torn down, so that it might direct its gaze towards the Light.
Man always has time enough for earthly things and earthly customs. However there is no time to spare for spiritual investigating and seeking, even though it is actually so essential for his ascent out of this world of perishable matter, a place only intended temporarily as a place of learning, of investigating and development. Man should indeed produce earthly goods and enjoy them with pleasure, but he must not place the acquisition of earthly possessions above spiritual gain, which alone mediates eternal values to him.
Only these values, which he is able to acquire through genuine inner experiencing, give him strong support in the beyond, firm confidence, and genuine trust in God. But the earthly values, which he has acquired with the help of his intellect, remain behind after death and pass away like the brain, which produces the intellect.
It is just the intellect that so often stifles the rising longing of the spirit, pushing aside fruitful recognitions and experiences, declaring that it has no time for them. May the human being in the pressure of earthly activity swing himself upwards more and more to devote sufficient time to the spiritual. It will bring the spirit multiple gain, here as well as over there in the beyond, which no earthly wealth however great can outweigh. No matter whether the search for the spiritual relates for example to the question of the origin of the human spirit, its task in Creation, life after death, the spiritual power by which it lives and exists, or whether it concerns its free will, its responsibility, its fate and its repeated earth-lives.
No time for spiritual things! This can only be a lazy excuse of the intellect, because by its nature it is in no position whatever to grasp spiritual things. Its field is the earthly.
The spirit, however, which is eternal, does not know this excuse. It always has time for spiritual things, as soon as and as long as it goes on striving to keep awake its longing for the Luminous Heights!

My relationship with my husband is something I give attention to everyday - we have a great life, but if you take it for granted you can loose it.
Most of my work deals with adolescents in crisis - those kids mean the world to me and I put a lot of extra time trying to improve their lives.

My children, the people I help in my job, and my spiritual studies. Y!A has become important to me because I can help people over in US Income Tax, and because I get insight in R&S. Most of the other crap I do in my daily life simply happens because it's necessary to live in this society.

It really must be taking care of the ones I love... helping them, making sure their needs and wants are met and seeing them happy because that is what all of my time and effort already go towards. LOL

to understand God, and search unto God to understand love between man and woman. For I just see animals. Not meant to offend it is just it is so easy to hook up with a woman. There are many of them, and the sexual knowledge is all over.

Being a good parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle, etc. and being with that special someone. Oh, and making this world a better place.
