"Making a Living and Making a Life"

"Making a Living and Making a Life"

Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, late President of Morehouse College, reminds us that we make our living by what we get, but we make our life by what we give. Everyone must find their mission in life, but they must also find their meaning in life. You can find meaning in your life by focusing on your "CANS" instead of your "CAN'TS".

Yes, we all lead fast and busy lives, and they're getting faster and faster and busier and busier. But as Emerson says in one of his poems,

To know that one life has breathed easier because YOU have lived, This is to have succeeded.

We make our living by what we get. We make our life by what we give.
