I have to ask: What is the thing you think of most in life? Is it family? Friends? Money? Health? What makes you think? For me it is my family. I am always thinking about them. It doesn't matter if I am thinking about what makes them happy, or what they want for dinner, or what we are going to do that day, they are always first and formost on my mind. As I was sitting here thinking about them today, it got me wondering if other people think about the same things as me, so I had to ask. I am looking for creative responses so lets have it people. What makes you go hmmmmmmmm?

It may seem like a strange response to say that the "first and foremost," as you put it, thing for me is that I should be thinking, period. This should not be understood as letting the mind wander. What I mean is that I should be thinking on whatever issues arise, but I should be giving them serious thought. So there isn't any one issue, such as family in your case. For me there are many, but they would probably all fall under the category of "philosophical." Thinking about family is no doubt an important matter in any one's life, but more often it becomes a matter of worrying than of thinking. All the things that you describe fall under daily concerns. I wonder, though, how much serious thought one can give to any one concern before another one comes by requiring immediate attention. It's more a matter of putting out fires all the time. I need more meaty stuff to chew on. For me, thinking about anything at all means giving it time for deep thought.

I think money and girl friends are the 2 factors for which I spent more time of my thinking.I hadn't thought of them up at least up to my 14th years of age. But afterwards both these factors almost made me it's slave.I have to admit that both of these are still hunting me without losing any gravity.

I think mostly of family then money, then a relationship with a nice guy. I am single and need someone at least for companionship. glowin100

I always think lots about my family and my pets. These are my kids, my mom, my sister, my nieces and my nephews. I think a lot of about my favorite hobby which is traveling. I like to plan future trips and at the moment I am planning a trip at Easter time next year. I have bought some more travel books to make more plans for my forthcoming trip.

the money is very important but its not the most important i think the most important things is love because you can have money or power but if you have nobody to share with you will never be happy and this is what every body want to be happy .but on the other hand without money youcant live.you know you cant feed your children with you love or you cant buy medicinewithout money and you will not be healthy.so our life is dependent upon many factors but we have to say we cant live without we cant be healthy without we need it.

I've been thinking negatively recently, come to think of it. I've always thought of how things will turn out if I take this decision or that decision but I don't know what changed my way of thinking. I think this is stress speaking already. Work had already taken over most of my life and it kinda sucks thinking about it.

What I think most in life right now is the growth and the future of my kids. I feel I am passing the days loving my kids more and more. Before I have always thought of success. However, even though I have not yet reached that, I feel I have changed, because I finally realized that while success is important, it is not the main priority. The most important thing still is my value as a father.

I am more thinking about my child. Because, my child need a lot of attention from me. I also thought about my family, but I prefer my child. So far, I have made a mistake, in taking care of my child, and now, I want to fix my mistakes.

I just think of how I'm going to get through today many days. Granted there are many days that are great, but there are many days where it is an exercise of frustration to really get anything done. I really think that many times in life, we are going to have to deal with many problems in our day to day life, both things that affect us directly and indirectly. I also consider the health of my family. With some members getting older, I really wonder what is going to happen to them during the next day. It is really something that is going to weight heavily in my mind. Those two topics tend to ping pong a lot of them back and forth in my mind. There are just a lot to think about in this world and I wonder what will happen next. What insanity will occur.

Of course family is above all else. But what after the family? In my opinion, after family, friendshif is the more important, because wthout friend, our live in the world feels empty!

I think the same way.The reason I am studying well and trying to do well in life is because I want to give my family,especially my mom,a life that they dreamed.I don't want them to suffer poverty.I think about my mom before i sleep and when I wake up.I want to give my mom a good life.That's the only way I can pay her back for everything she did for me-for the care,the life,the passion,the love...

Most of the time I think of my family and friends. My world actually revolves around them. I could say that we, together with my family are so close with each other. This also includes my relatives who just live nearby our house. There are times that I got so excited to go home because I already miss home, my family.
