About This Quote
We're here for a reason. I believe a bit of the reason is to throw little torches out to lead people through the dark. By that, it’s not that we are here for a purpose, but that we are here to help people. We can’t say why we were born, but we can say why being here matters. We have been given the honor of being able to help others and change lives.
