This week we share a MMM that was published a few years ago. One of our subscribers sent it to us and said it was an MMM that he saved and looked at it from time to time and suggested that it was worth sharing again and we agreed.
As you read the list you may or may not agree with all the points, but many are worth taking the time to reflect on and taking personal inventory to see if we are focusing on what truly matters! We all have one life to live and give on this earth so let's make it count!
"The purpose of life is a life of purpose." Robert Bryne Living our Lives on Purpose
This past weekend I woke up on Saturday morning to an email a good friend had forwarded to me. ?It was Michael Josephson’s “What Will Matter…” quote. ?It has been at least fifteen years, since I last read it. ?As I read it and reflected on words and insights I can honestly say it resonates so much more with me today. I share it with you today, to remind you to maximize the moments, prioritize your life and make sure you?live on purpose! ?
What Will Matter… ?
Ready or not, some day 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. 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 expire.
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away.
It won't matter where you came from or what side of the tracks you lived on 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.
If your business needs marketing that works, give us a call. We're here to help!
Have a great day unless you chose otherwise!
