WHAT REALLY MATTERS?

Maybe nothing will matter to us anymore when we leave this earth, but the quality of how we live and give of our self while we are alive will.

Our loved ones will inherit everything we ever bought or owned, but I believe what will really matter is what we leave behind other than the material.  When was the last time you saw a hearse pulling a U-Hall?

I believe what matters is what we give to others, not what we receive; what we teach, not just what we learn; how we empower others while empowering ourselves.  The examples of HOW we lived will be left behind for our children and grandchildren and to our friends and loved ones.  Making a difference while we are here by showing compassion for all living things and caring for ourselves and our planet will matter.  Letting the people and animals we care about know we love them and being kind to those who need it will always matter, not only now, but long after we are gone.

It also helps to look good, walk tall and carry a big stick.
