Ready or not,someday it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All the things that you have collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else.
Your wealth, fame or 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 list will expire.
The wins and losses which once seemed so important will fade away.
So what will matter?
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built.
Not what you got, but what you give.
What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage, or 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 are gone.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.
Living life that matters doesn't happen by accident.
It is not a matter of circumstance but of choice.
Have you choose to live a life that matters?
