5Cs

In the society I grew up in, I had a value system much like many I know. The goal? Achieve the 5Cs and then I would have 'arrived'.

5Cs
Career
Cash
Condominium
Car
Country Club membership

I might have made it to the 3rd level if not for a change in priorities, I kept asking myself, since these goals are so difficult for me to achieve, and I wasn't happy trying to achieve, much less know if I'd be happy once I get there (since I wasnt happy after I got the first 2), then why am i striving so hard? Has my life been lived out fully? Have I loved the ones around me enough? Have I made a difference in the world?

Now I have found the 6th C and I've never been happier...
