For each of us eventually, whether we are ready or not, someday we will come to an end.
There will be no sunrises, no minutes , hours or days, all the things you collected as a treasure will be passed to someone else, your wealth, fame and power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or owed, your grudges, jealousy, resentments and frustrations will disappear, so, do your hopes, plans ambitions will ...expire.
It won't matter where you came from or what sort of lives you lived, it won't matter if you are beautiful or brilliant, even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.
So what will matter? how will the days of your life be evaluated?
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 and 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 are gone.
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who love you.
A life lived that matters is not of circumstances, but of choice.
