[www.keralites.net] HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED?

 



About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morningnewspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his namein the obituary column. The news papers had reported thedeath of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shock. Am I here or there? When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him. The obituary read, "Dynamite King Dies." And also "He was the merchant of death." This man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words "merchant of death," he asked himself a question, "Is this how I am going to be remembered?" He got in touch with his feelings and decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered. From that day on, he started working toward peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize.

Just as Alfred Nobel got in touch with his feelings and redefined his values, we should step back and do the same

.

What is your legacy?

How would you like to be remembered?

Will you be spoken well of?

Will you be remembered with love and respect?

Will you be missed?

In today's fast moving world with all the many distractions many of us forget easily their true values - waste time on wrong paths of life and suddenly life is over before it really started.

Values of life often only become valuable to mostafter they have lost them- many or most first need to lose what they have to realize how much they had and to become aware of what truly mattered to them and was truly important to them !

Depending on your education, culture or country you live, grow up or work, you may be influenced by your surrounding and even pulled away or distracted from your own goal of life and true values.

Take a time - in peace and may be in nature - to think about what is of true innermost value to you.Take some time to think and feel what really matters to you.

To regain lost values of life may take years, decades or longer and most of the time all your fortune down to the very last cent - to maintain may take just a honest amount of daily efforts and resources.

The most valuable things in life can neither be stored in a bank account - nor in a vault or purse - the most valuable aspects of life are of different nature - NON-material !
