True happiness lies not in time wasting, not in selfishly enjoying what we have without paying our due for this wonderful life to the legacy of foundational development which facilitated our existence, not in material riches, not in physical attributes like beauty, but in the rewards which come from improving the lives of others.

Without purpose we fade and fast.

Purpose is not found in self to the exclusion of others but through serving others. Our partners, children, community, the planet and for those who believe, above all, our God and His plan for our future.

Almost without exception, those who are about to leave this world, having the chance to reflect, regret the time they did not spend with those they live, opportunities they did not facilitate and joy they did not spread.
