Comfort Quote by Dalai Lama
“So long as space remains, So long sentient beings' suffering remain, I will remain, In order to help, in order to serve... I am nothing but a servant to provide to others. So if you provide some happiness, some comfort to others, then your life becomes meaningful. If your life creates problems or suffering to others, then there's no meaning to your existence.”

For, in the end, it is impossible to have a great life unless it is a meaningful life. And it…” quote by Jim Collins](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e45/jim-collins-23358_business_when-what-you-are-deeply-passionate-abou_966373.jpg)
