There will come a time in your life when you realize that the true measure of your life is not success, but significance; not what got, but what you gave;
not what you bought, but what you built. - Michael Josephson
Living a life that matters is about making a positive difference. It could be in the lives of those you love, in your workplace or community. You don't have to be a selfless missionary to do this. There is plenty of room for personal success and achievement and in earning a comfortable life. Self-gratification is, itself not a sin. The important thing is not to let this dimension of your consume you or prevent you from using your energy and other resources to contribute to the well-being of others and the betterment of society. Fulfillment is to self-gratification as significance is to success. Go for the gold! See whatwillmatter.com.
