Consider this, one day your life will be over. You will not know the day or hour. Death does not care if you are ready or not. Death will take you when it determines it is time. All of the things you take for granted will be gone forever and never seen again.
Sunsets, the sounds of laughter, beautiful songs, and your family, do these things matter? Realize once you are gone there will be no more sunsets, no more laughter, no more moments with your family. All of the treasures you own will no longer be yours. Others will fight for those things you held most dear.
Frustrations, arguments, fights and anger will also disappear. Along with this so will your hopes, dreams, and goals. Everything that seemed significant and important will fade away.
Your position in life does not matter. Death does not care if you are rich or poor, man nor woman, death never takes this into consideration. No matter how invincible you think you are, death will always prevail.
So what is most important to you? How will you be remembered? What matters?
You come into the world with nothing, and you will leave with nothing. What matters in life are the things you have done and the impact you have had on those you have left behind.. Ask yourself, "was a person in need able to come to me and leave a better person?"
Every action you take matters, whether it is good or bad. Every action you take will affect another person. Remember to have compassion, encourage others, and care. This is what matters.
When you do anything, do it with passion. Every decision you make, do it with integrity. Have compassion and courage, for life is not always easy. Lead by example and empower others by the way you live your life. This is what matters.
Life is not about how many people you knew or how many show up to your funeral, it is about the people who will miss you when you are gone. Leave them with memories they will cherish.
Remember, live your life as though it matters.
