My purpose in life had revolved around me. Only me. But that changed when I had someone show me how valuable they were.  You see, I always wanted more out of life. The vast majority of society does and alot of people think that in order to give, you have to take.  I am so thankful that I am no longer this way!  I have been introduced to some extrordianry people...all different races and backgrounds.  I value the positive relationships that I have acquired.  But what I really value are the negative ones.  Don't be suprised! I value them because they broke me.  But I needed to be broken in order to grow back stronger.  If you are out there and feel like the world is against you, embrace it and allow your experiences to build better characteristics.  How do you say? Begin buy loving yourself and realizing that these material things acquired mean nothing before others.  I believe the purpose of life is to uplift one another.....that stranger, your neighbor, co-worker, or even your family member.  They may look heavy. But pick them up anway!   :^)
