[the truth]

Hmmm its a pretty big question...To be productive, to be kind to others, to help those in need, that goes for animals too...To spread love, to make a contribution, to be original, to form your own opinions whilst trying not to hurt people too, to help others in ways that really do help them not just in ways that make you feel good, to be honest and sincere. To work hard , to be a good example to others. To stay open minded, to be in constant evolution to learn and grow and improve. The more you learn the more you can contribute. To strive to maximize your potential , to discover and utilise all your talents to use them to make a better world and inspire others too. To take care of your parents and your children iff you have children , all these values can flow through them too and their childrens children. If you have no children you can still make these contribututions to the world and positively influence young people.

max ehhrman said it better

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others,

even to the dull and ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter,

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble,

it's a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.

Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love;

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,

it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be.

And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life,

keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
