But what's the shelf life of that praise, or rather the cause of the praise, does it last longer than it is supposed to or its like a bubble, its there and then the next moment gone.
To sustain an admiration is a challenge, have you been able to influence another life, soul, made a mark,inspired a being..if yes then you have a meaningful life.
I love to collect various coloured marker pens for highlighting, imp points are marked for future reference. That's how we should be etched in someone's life, in bold bright colours, reminding them constantly of the impact we have made and how positive the impact was..can be only known by the way the person responds when you meet them.
Its all so difficult yet so doable and so rewarding..so go ahead and be a marker..you wont loose your ink in the process, is my guarantee...;-)
