I think the biggest lesson he taught were lessons of love. That's what we are called to do. To love with more courage, to love with more commitment, to love with more sacrifice. The greater love we render the world to our country, community, humanity. The more love you render, the greater impact you are going to make. Life is about purpose, not position. Live life with the purpose to serve, the purpose to help, the purpose to bring together, the purpose to love. If you get up every day with determination, your life path is going to lead you places beyond your imagination.
