When you are eighty or ninety and you're sitting on the porch rocking and looking back on your life, how will you feel about it? You won't have to answer to anyone or fulfill their expectations – not your parents or your business associates or your spouse. What will you have done with the gift of life? The answer will be important to you then, so the question should be important to you now.
The course of your life is determined by ...
The relationships you form
The decisions you make
The actions you take
Each has the potential to change the course of your life.
If you're not doing something with your life, it doesn't matter how long it is. If you are doing something with your life, it doesn't matter how long it is. Life does not consist of years lived, but of its usefulness. Your focus must be beyond yourself. If you are giving, loving, serving, helping, encouraging, and adding value to others, you are living a useful life. That is significance.
