Focussing on Doing Good

My Dad recently gave me the following advice.

'You have to focus your attention outside yourself. If you focus internally too much then you send yourself crazy.  Focus on what you can do to help people.  What you can do to make the world a better place.' 
Dad was a family doctor in a rural area in the UK.  Whenever I go home, people still come up to me and say: 'You are Dr Collis's daughter aren't you? He was such a wonderful doctor.  He was so kind to me when...'

I think that is a pretty good testament to a life well-lived.
