Hey it's Hans here. Today is the day 21 years ago that God decided I would come into this world. It's crazy how the time has gone by. I'm only a young man, still a kid really, and yet I already feel like time is running away on me. The older I get the more I realize how precious our time here on this earth is.
In my short time here I've learned this, that a successful life is one of significance. It doesn't matter how much money you earn, how many possessions you aquire, or how successful your career is. What does matter is how do you impact the lives of those around you. Ultimately you have nothing if you don't have love. I don't mean romantic love though that is wonderful. I mean love for people in general. Love for others, whatever form of love that may be whether it's romantic, brotherly, unconditional, or conditional, is the only thing in this world worth living for. Yeah heartbreak is the worst pain in the world but that's only because love is the most beautiful thing in the world. Love is why Jesus died on the cross. He died because he loves us and wanted to restore the relationship mankind had with God in the garden all those many, many years ago.
In my 21 years I have tried to do my best to live a life of significance. They have been wonderful years and I am so grateful to God for each and every one of them. He has blessed me more then I could ever repay and far more then I will ever deserve. He has given me a wonderful family and incredible friends. He has given me hope and a reason to live. He has always guided me and been by my side. My life has been a short one so far but man, has it been a grand one!
