The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name
and the inheritance of a great example.
~Benjamin Disraeli
The men and women who served our country bravely (and who paid the ultimate price that we remember today) understood that service meant something more than what you do for a few hours a year. Serving should be what leads you to a life of purpose. Most people have it the other way around. Most people serve themselves and come up empty, unhappy and feeling lost. When you lead your life by waking up every day and saying to the universe, use me to create positive changes in my life and the world, then you will live a life of true purpose. Serving is what we should all be doing every single day. If you are not enriching and contributing to this life in a greater way, you will never be truly satisfied ~ ever! Remember that when it's all said and done, it's not the "stuff" you accumulated that will speak volumes of who you were, it's how you made a difference while you were here.
