About This Quote
What is the purpose of life? What is the meaning of life? Does life have any meaning? If you think about it long enough, you will find many answers to these questions. However, they are all different depending on who you ask. Some people believe that life is about making money. They go out and strive for success in order to put food on the table.
Others believe that it’s all about having a happy family. They live their lives by adhering to God’s will so they can play with their kids on the weekend. But, what about those who believe that their purpose in life is to spread joy? The purpose of life for them is to bring joy into the world.
That’s why they are willing to put their own needs on hold in order to live fully and contribute something good to the world around them. To them, the only true meaning of life lies in spreading joy wherever they go.
