LIVE A LIFE THAT MATTERS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end. will pass to someone else.<\/p>\n Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. \u00a0will finally disappear.<\/p>\n So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to-do lists will expire. It won’t matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built;<\/p>\n not what you got, but what you gave.<\/p>\n What will matter is not your success, but your significance.<\/p>\n What will matter is not what you learned, but what you taught.<\/p>\n What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage<\/p>\n or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged<\/p>\n \u00a0others to emulate your example.<\/p>\n What will matter is not your competence, but your character.<\/p>\n What will matter is not how many people you knew,<\/p>\n but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone.<\/p>\n What will matter is not your memories,<\/p>\n but the memories that live in those who loved you.<\/p>\n What will matter is how long you will be remembered, and for what.

\nThere will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
\nAll the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten<\/p>\n
\nIt will not matter what you owned or what you were owed.
\nYour grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies<\/p>\n
\nThe wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
\nIt won’t matter where you came from,<\/p>\n
\nEven your gender and skin color will be irrelevant.
\nSo what will matter?<\/p>\n
\nLiving a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident.<\/p>\n
