Don’t worry about the level of individual prominence you have achieved; worry about the individuals you have helped become better people."
You'll find your purpose in life by help others get what they want. Happiness is a choice not a destination. The gap between knowing and doing is huge and the faster you close the gap the more fulfilling a life you'll have! Define what you want to Have in your life and lifestyle. What are you willing to Do to achieve it. Will you Be who you are by doing it? If there is congruence you'll be, do and have a life.

As long as my children learnt something good from me and i helped them to develop into decent caring individuals then I'll be happy, Likewise i dont need thousand of people to like me, but at the end of the day if some people can call me "friend"and really mean it then i can die a happy man, Also to truly love someone without conditions would be wonderful, (I'm working on that!).
awsome question? i had to pick helping others.... i hope that i will always keep learning. but i also like to teach others what i have learned. i help people when i see them broke down on the side of the road. open doors for anyone, make people smile. lend a hand whenever possible. i put myself in other peoples positions. then do what i would hope others would do for me. yes, i have considered joining door matts anonymous. as long as i can help one person be kind and show others like i have, then my life has meaning, or as long as i can help one person chose to be a better roll model. mission accomplished..... if i can keep trying to inspire as many people that i see,, then even better..... as long as i breathe, i will always try to inspire by example. inspire from within and teach by example. does that answer your question?
If I can leave this mortal coil with peace in my heart. Knowing that I have helped when help has been needed. Been forgiven for the errors that I recognise I have made along the way.

Thanks to Obama it will be measured with a 1 inch tape measure if we are lucky enough to get that much left for us to measure.

My life is measured by the person my daughter is. When I ask myself the question....why was I born....all I have to do is remind myself of how my daughter lives her life.

Mate, the measure of one's life changes as we progress through various stages of life.
For example - When I was young, a fate worse than death was being at home for the whole weekend. Now that I'm a lot older, a fate worse than death is partying the whole weekend!
So my measure of my life has changed, and it will continue to do so as I continue to experience different things, and just try to age gracefully....
I am very content and satisfied with my life, however it can be, rough or good times, i appreciate them all because they give a sense to the existence and get me thoughtful and grateful just for being .. unique just like everybody ..
Barring an accident, I'll chose my own time to depart but in the event of one and being put on the spot I'd measure my life on the impact it had on others and the world we live in.
