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.
