What is the meaning of life? No, sorry, what is the purpose?

Live well? get married? have kids? wealth? health?
#wtf
Too many people are living their lives, racing, taking so much for granted, failing to raise their heads above water and take a moment to breath, look around and give back.

This is a great topic to cover on Jan 1st 2012

I believe in “Random Acts of Kindness”
(“a selfless act performed by a person or people wishing to either assist or cheer up an individual person or people” Wiki)

A small taste of life:
I went to pick up my doughtier from a birthday party 3 buildings down the street — as I was picking her up, she came out with a huge and amazing balloon art in her hand, yet I saw that she is unusually sad. After pulling my “Child Psychology 101” act, I came to understand the cataclysmic, paramount and monumental issue I’m now facing. The balloon artist that was entertaining the kids, made her something she didn’t want. She actually wanted the butterfly or flower figure which was given to one of her friends.

Now, I must admit, my kids, are my soft spot. Being a total person, having a weakness as big as I have toward my kids, may result in some crazy outcomes.
At that moment, I promised my daughter that I WILL get her what she wanted — her eyes lit. That was my goal — mission accomplished!

Now, need to find a butterfly or flower balloon art….

Living in a very small city, knowing one Balloon artist that lives near by, I assumed that he was the one that catered the birthday. It turned he didn’t.
Just as I was thanking him, he asked me re the nature of my question and I ran him by the whole story. He immediately replied: I’ll make it for you! got a picture of it?
I smsed the friend whose doughtier got the design my doughtier wanted and emailed it right over. He replied — come and pick it up tomorrow night.

I was charmed.
I just spoke to the guy for the first time over the phone and he immediately extended his arm toward me and offer to help.

Take aways from this lessons, which I try to exercise every day:

Life is short — Be Kind, Help Others.
