Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote, “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.” These are profoundly wise words, that are not only inspirational at any age, but also applicable at any age — applicable that is, for those humble enough to acknowledge anything wrong in the way they think, talk or behave and who are willing to replace these things with that which is right.
More importantly, we have this from our Creator: “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man (Ecc. 12:13), and “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matt. 6:33).
