  1. What everyone longs to feel. To feel worthwhile a person must be worthwhile. To be worthwhile we must know how to live. To know how to live means we must know our Maker. And when we gall short, we shall need His forgiveness to stay in relationship with Him. Thank you, Jesus.

  3. Was it worth it? Sneaking around, being treated like air.

  4. for some time now, i’ve been asking myself what i am doing with my life and does it really have a meaning? and if not, does it have to have a meaning in order for me to fully enjoy living it?

  6. Will it be worthwhile to go back to school at my age? Will people be more apt to listen to my words if I have a degree behind my name, rather then remaining the simple person I am right now?

  7. it’s very difficult to write about the word ‘worthwhile’. don’t think too hard if it’s meaningful, or lasting. we couldn’t get anything done if we stared too hard. one thing we can all agree on: ‘worthwhile’ is impossible to define.

  8. Jake honked his horn at ass o’crack in the morning and Rob had nothing but curse words and steely glares for him. “You’re not even gonna tell me where we’re going?” Jake was all teeth as he shook his head. “Nope.” The first hour Rob slept. The second hour, he spent grumbling while they unloaded the jeep. The third was wasted glowering in silence as he waited for some fish to jump. By noon, he’d caught three. When Jake caught him smiling, Rob gave a slight nod to acknowledge that for all his complaining, the day turned out perfect.

  9. the whole camping trip with my family was more worthwhile than i had thought it would be

  10. To ask if a task is worthwhile
    is raising the question:
    Where do I envision it taking me?
    To repose back to a dormant motionless
    closet
    risks nothing
    to venture out into the front yard of an alien invasion
    saws edges on the soul!

  11. Pretended it
    was worthwhile
    long enough
    to wait for
    you.

    Now that you
    are here –
    so
    relieved
    that it
    actually
    is.

  12. this word is about the worth that God has given to us. the value of his people on this earth of repentence.

  13. try not to think about it; if something is worthwhile, one tends not to know this fact until later.

  14. I feel like in this like I am very worthwhile and life is very worthwhile. I feel like it is important to make everything you do worthwhile in life, even the small things

  15. The judge sat on the bench, disappointed with the case. She wanted to badly for the kid to get off easy, do something worthwhile. But it looked like that wasn’t going to happen.

  16. It was a waste of everyone’s time to sit there and listen to him ramble on. But you were supposed to respect your elders. You were supposed to respect the man in charge. You were supposed to do all sorts of things that no one felt like doing in this particular instance.

  17. I didn’t think it was even worthwhile talking to him because he has been ignoring me. Every time I approach him his body language screams that he wants me away.

  18. “Well this turned out to be a worthwhile pursuit, didn’t it?” Jacob’s voice dripped sarcasm. Kristy looked up at him with eyes threatening to burst with a storm of tears. Did he really think this was a time to joke!?

  19. It’s a worthwhile effort. It will yield a title, degree, respect… Grey hairs, too. Will it have impact? YUCK. No!

  20. It is a quality that you don’t know if something or someone has usually until it is too late. Then you realize just how worthwhile they are.

  21. My relationship is worthwhile…I had to think about it a lot over the past few weeks…Ok i’m lying the past year, really. But waht is really worthwhile? Right now I dont feel worthwhile. I’m tinkering around the edges while the world feels like it’s burning and I hate this. I feel like I can do more but does it have to feel that way? Am I the one who can make that difference?

    by Zehra on 01.07.2016
  22. it is difficult to know what is. What should I really do? break a heart and be lonely for a while, focus on my art… or suffer mildly without being lonely while the art gets focused on maybe 65%

  23. it was a worthwhile experience to have dinner at Aiya where they serve nice Japanese food.

  25. you, my darling are definitely worthwhile.
    and while you may question your worth,
    let me say…

  26. People are worthwhile. They’re worth getting to know and becoming their friend. Sure there are plenty of terrible people in the world, but I mean, not everyone is just made of bad. There’s good and bad in everyone.

  27. It is worthwhile to recycle parts of your rubbish, because our environment needs help.
    Let us protect Mother Nature.

  28. Worthwhile. What is worthwhile? Are all these efforts worthwhile? I hope so. I hope that there is a place after this that would make all the things happening and I’m doing right now worthwhile.

  29. Worthwhile. What makes life worthwhile? Are all these efforts worthwhile? I hope so. I hope that there is a place after this that would make all the things that happened here worthwhile.

  30. worth the effort

    by Lisa Hall on 01.06.2016
  31. Worthwhile, what is worthwhile anyway in these hard times? Is it worthwhile to get up and go to work day after day for the same lack of pay or is it worthwhile to come home to a messy house now cleaned by children after school so you can watch TV with them before dinner? Is worthwhile a story you started to write but never finished?

    No. Worthwhile is anything that brings you closer to the person you want to be.

    It’s the things that make you happy now, not later.

    Worthwhile is more than routine.

  33. The idea that something is or is not worthwhile is one that plagues society and, indeed, is mainly a social construct. What exactly makes something worthwhile? Nothing more or less than the things that we are taught to see as worthwhile — the word being defined, of course, as something inherently good or better than something else. What is ‘worthwhile’ is different depending on the culture you were raised in.

  34. This is someone who I would feel deserves my time and someone I want to be around. They’re the person who, if I think of, is something I want to put some effort into impressing or to please. They’re someone who I definitely want to be around for. Anything that you’re willing to spend effort towards is exactly what this word means to me

  35. Who is worthwhile? What is worthwhile? I want to be worthwhile. I want to believe that I could rise to greater heights of knowledge and wisdom and love and Truth. I want to be a worthwhile creation of Allah. I want to be good.

  36. Doing the things that bring value to the kind of person, man, manager, husband, father, grandfather I need to be. Eliminating those things that will waste time and distract from the goals that I have set for being successful at who I want to be.

    by Ed Wulf on 01.06.2016
  37. Will you make it worth my while? To share a convo and a smile? I hope you will but feel it’s unfair (the energy I must expend to get us there). So perhaps I will just pass you by and hope you don’t notice as I avoid your eye.

  38. George always tried to convince me that charcoal drawing wasn’t a worthwhile hobby, but I kept at it until the details became more intricate, the shading more nuanced and the silhouettes more intimidating. When I hung my canvases and pages up on my walls, I could see George become more and more uncomfortable with the display.

    Good, I thought to myself. That anti-art bastard may as well stay in his room and play with his abacus.

  39. The people of Malo slept and the gentle northern breeze swept up their dreams and tenderly carried them across the bay. Jordie looked towards the moon and thought he could see something rise into the night sky, like a wisp, so fragile, the collective hopes of one sleepy little town, of Mrs Baker, of Tommy Greene of Mumma and Pappa. With it his own dreams for a life worthwhile, nights without fear, mornings where you could run to the other end of town and pick apples from the grove, of delicious hot sunday puddings and the smell of Samantha Blumenthal as she rode by on her rusty malvern star.

  40. “So was it worthwhile?” she asks. She tucks a strand of stray hair behind her ear and winks.

    I take a sip of coffee and think on it, “Yes and no.”

    “Well,” smiles coyly,”now I know there’s a story just waiting to be told here.”

    “Let her dig,” I think. There’s no pulling it out of me. Not today, tomorrow, or ever, because this thing, this thing of mine, it’s mine to keep.
