“The purpose of life is not to be
happy. It is to be useful, to be
honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have
lived and lived well.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
We recently had
lunch with good friends on the second floor of a restaurant. As we were going down the stairs on our way
out, a mom was struggling to go up the stairs with a baby in a jogging
stroller. One of our friends lifted the
top of the stroller and helped the mother get the stroller to the top of the
stairs. A little boy who was with us saw
our friend help the mother and said, “And it’s his birthday!” Our helpful friend was celebrating a
milestone birthday. His assistance was
not only a nice thing to do, but also a great example of how you can think of
others – even on your special day.
