Inspiration for the Journey
-
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 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 owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally
disappear.So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end.It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.
Even your gender and skin color 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 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're gone.
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you.
What will matter is how meaningful a life you led and contributed to
mankind's peace and happiness. -
Hello Zainab,
Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end.
Oh zainab - why? I just started enjoying everything.... -)
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
But sunrise is magnificent - don't you think?
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass
to someone else.Great. Its a good way of getting rid of your junk!
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
But it is quite nice to have all these things wink
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
I like to owe my bank millions before I shuffle of this mortal coil!
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies will finally
disappear.I have none of these already...
So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire.
Oh please don't start me on ambitions and plans...and my to-do list is as long as the amazon river!
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end.But I like to remember my wins specially against savage_carrot.
It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant.
It does matter. When you are beautiful and dead you are still beautiful and lot of people will come to your funeral.
Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.
But I love different skin colours...browns and golden and white my favourites...
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built.
Bought built whats the difference here - you still spent money on it.
And I have not built anything except a house for my grandmother but she is dead now...does that count?Not what you got, but what you gave.
But I gave a lot of things...including my favourite xbox game to my bro free. Does that count?
What will matter is not your success, but your significance.
But I am very ugly and very insignificant...so I am done for yes?
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or
sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.That I have done! Savage_carrot has said that there have been many LoteTree wanabees on the forum while I was away...so YES. I have achieve this!!
What will matter is not your competence, but your character.
You mean like that cartoon character - that wilde kyote who chases a road runner?
What will matter is not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone.
But I hate licking people boots so that they may like me.
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you.
But I have many treassured memories...
What will matter is how meaningful a life you led and contributed to
mankind's peace and happiness.WOW mankinds peace and happiness...but zainab its hard to make those that you have around you happy let alone mankind...
Regards,
