Loss or gain?

Sometimes in life we give up something to gain another.

This again was illustrated by one of Belgium's greatest athletes ever: Justin Henin.

After loosing her own mother at the age of 12, she was determined to reach her own goal in life, to become tennis champion. She left her father and siblings for that one goal.

At the age of 25 she reached everything she wanted: 7 grand slams and with it came huge gains.. millions of dollars.

But is this all man can dream of? Now she calls it quits ... goes back to her family and thinks of picking up her studies.
Or has she received a greater calling in life? Serving family, community, reconciling with her ex-husband?

So, what is more important in your life? Striving for the goals, career, business projects, financial gains or is there something more? ...
