What Counts A quote hanging in Albert Einstein’s office read: “Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.” In other words, a lot of the things you do in a day or week can’t be “counted”—they’re not things that you can tick off of your to-do list—and yet they are vital, defining moments. We must be sure to always keep in the forefront of our minds that love is the most important thing. If we don’t have love, all of our ticked off to-dos, all of our great accomplishments, will be of no benefit.1 The number one priority is and always should be love! If you can go to bed at night knowing that you have shown love, then you can rest well, knowing that you’ve accomplished something truly great.
