Friday Tale - Choose a Life that Matters

 * Some day the things we have collected, our wealth, our fame, our power - Will not matter.

* Some day what we owe or what we are owed - Will not matter.

* Some day our wins, our losses, and our to-do lists - Will not matter.

* Our grudges and our resentments our frustrations and our jealousies - Will not matter.

* Whether we are beautiful or brilliant, our gender and our skin color -

Will not matter.

 

**** So what will matter?

* What will matter - Is not what we have, but what we gave.

* What will matter - Is not what we bought, but what we built.

* What will matter - Is not what we learned, but what we taught.

* What will matter - Is not our competence, but our character.

* What will matter - Is not our success, but the success of those we helped.

* What will matter - Is our integrity and our compassion, that encouraged and enabled others to have integrity and to be compassionate.

 

Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident.

It's not a matter of circumstance.

It's a matter of choice.

May we choose - each day - to live a Life that Matters.

~ Michael Josephson

 

Let integrity and uprightness preserve me,
for I wait for You.
~ Psalm 25:21
