Forward

This morning I received a forward from one of my colleagues, 'Stress - Put it Down for a Moment'. Reading through, it had the usual quotes and sayings that we always see in these sorts of emails, feel good, motivational, happy-happy-joy-joy! Ugh. But there was one in particular that touched me:
'It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to be kind to others'.
I sometimes have moments where I wonder what the hell it is I am supposed to do, what is it I am destined to be? I often hear of others striving towards a career, following their passions and living the life they have always dreamed of, and at my age I see that most people have succeeded in doing all of this.
Don't get me wrong, I am not disappointed with myself nor am I envious or unsatisfied. I have never wanted much and whatever I have wanted I always managed to get. I like this saying. It suits me perfectly. I love the people I share my life with and I hope they know how much they mean to me.
