Ready or not, Some day it will all come to an end.There will be no more sunrise,no minutes,hours or daysAll the things you collected,whether treasured or forgottenwill pass to someone elseYour wealth,fame and temporal power,will shrivel to irrelevanceIt will not matter what you owned or what you owed your gruges,resentments,frustrations,and jealousieswill finally disappearSo,too,your hopes, ambitions,plans,and to-do lists will expireThe wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade awayIt won't matter where you came fromIt won't matter whether you were beautiful of brilliantEven your gender and skin color will be irrelevantSo what will matter?What will matter is not your success,but your significanceWhat will matter is every act of integrity,compassion courageof sacrifice that enriched,emplowered or encouraged othersto emulate your examplewhat will matter is not how many people you knewbut how many will feel a lasting loss when you're goneWhat will matter is not your memoriesbut the memories that live on in those who loved youWhat will matter is how long you will be remembered and what for whatLiving a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.It happens by choice...
