The Age of Reason

What is my purpose in life, What is the reason that I have experienced the things I have?

  
     These are two good questions we ask ourselves many times throughout our lives , some never find the answer and many find the answers changing as we age and hopefully mature.
      One purpose I beleive is to be an example for others of how to respond to events in our lives, as either a good or bad example. We can point out mistakes we have made in order to show others what not to do in a given situation.Let me share some things I have learned.
    REASON- There is a reason for everything, we may never know what it is but there is one. Some things which start out bad can and often do turn around.
   RESPONSIBILITY- I have learned (the hard way) to take responsibility for my own actions, AND require that others do the same.
   RESPECT- For ones self and others, everyone does have an opinion, and just because you have had yours longer does not make it right.
   PASSION- For what you do believe, what you do and for those you love.
   COMPASSION- For those less fortunate than yourself. 
   TOLERANCE-  For others but not for BS.
   APPRECIATION- For what you have, for family and friends despite THEIR faults.
