When I hear somebody sigh, "Life is hard," I am always tempted to ask, "Compared to what?" Imagine what would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?
What then are the Qualities of Life?
---It can be shared forever, but cannot be kept forever.
When given to another, it brings great joy to all;
when taken, the anguish for many is great.
---It is sometimes maintained by less than the thread of a string
and sometimes lost despite the hope of millions.
---Its frailty and end are obvious, but its strength and limits endless.
---When this life is over, let the meaning of our lives be found not on a list of accomplishments, but in the hearts and souls of the people with whom we shared our fragile existence.
Therefore, Let our lives not be measured so much by what we did for others,
but by what we helped people do for themselves.
Remember: Life is meaningless only if we allow it to be.
Each of us has the power to give life meaning, to make our time and our bodies and our words into instruments of love and hope.... REMAIN BLESSED
