Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrise, no days, no hours or minutes. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear.
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will all expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived.
It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Your gender, skin color, ethnicity will be irrelevant.
So what will matter? How will the value of your days be measured?
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave.
What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage and sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories of those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, By who and for what.
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumference but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.
Whether it is ready or not, it will come to an end one day. There is no sunrise, no day, no hours and minutes. Everything you collect, whether you cherish it or forget it, will flow into other people's hands.
no matter what you get or what you owe others, your property, reputation and power will become irrelevant to you.
Your resentment, indignation, frustration and jealousy will eventually disappear.
therefore, your hopes, ambitions, plans and action schedules will all come to an end. The gains and losses of success that were valued at the beginning will also disappear.
it doesn't matter where you come from or whether you live in a poor area or a rich area.
Your former beauty and brilliance are not important, and your gender, skin color and racial status will also disappear.
so what's important? How to measure the value of your lifetime?
what matters is not what you bought, but what you created; It's not what you get, but what you give.
