The purpose of life is to be love,

Some say the purpose of life is to just be happy. No mater the cost. That your "  own"    happiness is all that counts. Yes we should be true to ourselves & yes we should find a life that makes us joyful. But life is so much more than just that. I'm sorry, I don't believe the purpose of life is to just always be happy. Because if that's truly what it is I've already missed the mark. I think life is much more. I think the purpose of life is to be love, to be useful, to be responsible, to be compassionate, to be understanding, to care for others even when it hurts. It is, above all to make life matter, to do daily acts that count, to stand for something, to live to love. To have made a difference in the lives of those you meet. To live a life that was about more than your own happiness but a life that spread happiness to everyone you have been blessed to meet. To make a difference & even if only in the smallest of ways leave the world a little bit better because you have been given the chance.

As much as you try to forgive, forget & look past you cant erase what was. What was is not what is nor will it ever cross into what shall be but to completely deny what was is only denying part of yourself. Its hard to see good on the surface of any pain or hurt. But things in life happen. Sometimes they are wonderful & other times, well not so much. We do our best to tackle the things life throws at us sometimes falling short of happiness. But its not the falls or our flaws that mater. No its something much more important. Its the way you persevere. The way you set your eyes on the good & come what may you keep going. Bad happens sometimes it hurts more than you could ever imagine but that is never what defines you. No, its the beautiful picture being created that maters. What is & more importantly whats still to come.
