“Once you have found a meaning to life, live by it. Never let anyone put you down and make sure to set goals. Think of life as a trek up a mountain. On the beginning of the trek you were given an envelope that you were trusted with to get to the top. Along the way you learn the terrain and become an expert letting others know where danger is and guiding many to their destinations. At the end of the trek you hand this envelope to a man sitting under a tree. You stay for a second curious of what was inside and to your surprise the letter was blank. At first you think “What a waste of time and energy hauling a blank letter all the way here for nothing”. But if you rethink what you have experienced on your trek and of how much good you have done guiding and veering others away from danger, you’ll notice that life is all about helping others and not that end location or reward. Where ever you may end up at the end of your life it doesn’t matter, all that matters is that you’ve helped others on the way there. It’s all about the journey!”
