Ready or not, s o m e d a y . .
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. Yourgrudges,
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
w i l l f a d e a w a y . .
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 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
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 long
you will be remembered,
by whom and for what.
Living a life that matters
doesn't happen by accident.
It's not a matter of circumstance
but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.
// ----- f.i.m.h. ---- >
A person's character matters.
And people ( not just artists ) like Regine
should matter, do matter and must matter.
They must matter to people like me and you.
If they don't then what really does outside
our own families? Our own friends. Our own
selves if others who care and do good for
everyone's benefit don't?
< --------- f.i.m.h. ---------- >
Good character matters. ( not good
image made by real-life acting )
Care for those who matter to people
who don't always matter to others.
