*GOOD MORNING NAIJAPALS!!*

Rise to Wisdom, Today we put a challenge forth to ourselves to really consider what this life is all about.



"WHAT IS THIS LIFE REALLY ABOUT?"

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 have 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, 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 and coached.

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 people will feel a lasting loss when you are 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 does not happen by accident.

It is not a matter of circumstance but a matter of choice.

Choose a life that matters.


****************

It's simple and straight to the point.

Let's talk .........

Have you told our leaders about all this?
you are one of the leaders of tomorrow, so learn your self first don't shift it to others, let it begin with you and me first.
