It's not what we bought, but what we built that matters.
It's not what we got, but what we gave that matters.
It's not our success but our significance that matters.
It's not what we learned, but what we taught that matters.
It's not our competence, but our character that matters.
It's not our memories, but who loved us, that matters.
It doesn't matter how many people we knew, but how many people felt good around you.
Our grudges, resentment, frustration will finally disappear.
Our hopes, ambition, plan will expire.
The wins and losses will fade away.
Our gender and skin color is also irrelevant.
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion and courage.
What will matter is how long we will be remembered.
It's not a matter of circumstances.
So, choose to live a life that matters.
