What do you want to have mattered?

"Sometimes when you are young you think nothing can hurt you its like being invisible. Your whole life is ahead of you and you have big plans. To find your perfect match, the one that completes you or the thing that completes you. But as you get older you realize its not always that easy.Its not until the end of your life where you realize the plans you made are simply plans. But then at the end when you are looking back instead of forward you want to believe you left something behind that is good. You want it all to have mattered"

At the end of one tree hill Lucas always says something. Tonight i was fortune enough to get what he said ( i think i missed a word or two).

As i was reading this again I started to think about this quote and how much i want my life to count. I want it to matter. I think about things i have done that isn't good. I think about it and realize that the time i have wasted for selfish pleasures that i could have used for good, use to encourage someone or to serve in some way but instead i used it to please myself. I want my life to matter. It isn't as easy as it looks but when i look back on my life or others look back i want people to be able to say that i fought hard to do what was good. i might have not always succeeded but i didn't give up easily.
