Change Quote by Ruben Ledesma
“I believe that our purpose in life is not so much to be happy; but to be joyful, to be useful, to love and be loved, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to manufacture our own history, to embrace what we cannot change, to have the courage to let someone go, and sacrifice for some to stay, to be the change in a childs life, to allow the world to see what without us cannot be seen, to make something better than when we found it, to be willing to lay down our life for others, and above all, to simply give our love ones an endless supply of hugs and kisses”
