[www.keralites.net] What Matter

 

Ready or not, Some  day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, 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 owned..         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 seeed 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  you 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, other 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 whom and for what.   Living a life that matters doesn't  happen by accident. It's not a  matter or circumstance, but of choice. Choose to live a life that matters.
