Live a Life that Matters

Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end.
There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All things you once 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 are owed.
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and fears 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 wonÂÂ?’t matter where you came from, or on what side of the tracks you lived, at the end.

So what will matter?
How will 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 not what you learned, but what you taught.

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 how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when your gone.
What will matter is not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you.
What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what.

Living a life that matter doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice and a life worth living.

Written by Christie, a 49 year old Cystic Fibrosis Patient.
