Bloom Like A Flower

Flowers, no matter how beautiful, will one day wither and fall. The same goes for all of us, we all have our own expiry dates. What matters is not how long we can live, but rather, while we are still alive, have we really bloom like a flower?

Have we brighten the world with our (inner) beauty? Have we make an effort, through the little things we do in Life, to change things or change the world for the better? Have we lived in such a way, that when people think of us, it brings a smile to their face because their lives are enriched by us? Have we given love, given encouragement and given hope, to the people who need them most?

Have we been true to ourselves, to be responsible for our own actions, even when no one is watching? Do we have the courage to live the Life we really want, and not let the standards defined by others to be a benchmark for our own achievements?
If your answer to the above questions is yes, then I believe you are living a meaningful and purposeful Life. Of course, everyday is an opportunity to improve ourselves, change is always possible, if we are not living the Life we deem meaningful.
