Life lived for others is a life worthwhile

जीविते यस्य जीवन्ति
विप्रा मित्राणि बान्धवाः ।
सफलं जीवितं तस्य
आत्मार्थे को न जीवति ॥
- हितोपदेशः

One who influences (inspires, motivates and contributes to) the lives of his friends, relatives and wise people is the only one whose life is worthwhile. Who in this world lives without any selfish motives?
(Everyone lives only for himself, and there is no point in living such a life)

Life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.
Life is not about finding your purpose.
It's about going out and creating a purpose to be remembered by.
