Monday Moments January 5, 2026

"This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose

recognized by yourself as a mighty one.

Being a force of nature

instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of

ailments and grievances, complaining

that the world will not devote itself

to making you happy.

I am of the opinion

that my life belongs to the

whole community

and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it

what I can.

I want to be thoroughly used up when I die,

for the harder I work, the more I live.

I rejoice in life for its own sake.

Life is no brief candle to me.

It is a sort of splendid torch

which I have got hold of for the moment

and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible

before handing it on to future generations."

George Bernard Shaw
