What　Will　Matter

Anonymous

Ready　or　not；　some　day　it　will　all　e　to　an　end。　There　will　be　no　more　sunrises；　no　days；　no　hours　or　minutes。　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　all　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。　It　won’t　matter　whether　you　were　beautiful　or　brilliant。　Your　gender；　skin　color；　ethnicity　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；　passion；　courage　and　sacrifice　that　enriched；　empowered　or　encouraged　others　to　emulate　your　example。

What　will　matter　is　not　your　petence；　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。
