Its very beautiful when you find someone who has said what you feel in your heart so eloquently: The reason Im here, the reason Ive had such a wonderful journey so far, is that Ive found love. Yes, love. We were all made to love. And Ive found that we live our best lives, we are at our most successful, not simply because were smarter than everyone else, or because we hustle harder. Not because we become millionaires more quickly. The key to success, the key to happiness, is opening your mind and your heart to love. Spending your time doing things you love and with people you love. But years from now, when you look back on your time here on earth, your life and your happiness will be way more defined by the quality of your relationships, not the quantity. Youll get much more joy out of depth, not breadth. Its about finding and keeping the best relationships possible with the people around you. Its about immersing yourself in your friendships and your family. Its about being there for the people you care about, and knowing that theyll be there for you. Every religion has this idea of philanthropy, love for mankind, at its core. But you shouldnt do this just to make sure you get into the pearly gates. Look at the work of Marty Seligman here at Penn, who has literally written the book on happiness. Look at the work of Adam Grant, whom I hear is the most highly rated professor here: He has the data to show that giving works. Theres an increasing body of research and knowledge that tells us that living a life of love and compassion is the true path to success and contentment. Thank you John Legend
