When you have discovered your significance, your life will now begin to move towards making a difference.
When you live for the purpose of making a difference for the people, for society, for the things that are beyond you, then significance will not be able to elude you.
It is a good thing to live long but it is much more important to make a difference in life by living a life of significance.
This is the way to shine; to make a difference even as you choose to stand up, speak out and maintain a valid positive opinion.
