One day

"One day you will be just a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one."

What are you leaving behind ? I do not mean what money, cars, family jewels or businesses are you leaving behind for people to inherit,  I mean the important stuff, the stuff that matters, the good stuff. The kindness you showed, the lessons you imparted, the memories you fostered, the time you dedicated, the love you shared and showed.  Those are the things that matter, those are the things that transcend time, these are the things you must leave behind. Do not be a transient whisper in death, live with a roar. Those are the things you must leave behind, and if you leave them, you defy death, you will live in eternity.   Someone once quoted that you will die twice, once when you stop breathing, and a second time when someone mentions your name for the last time, your name never to be uttered again in eternity.  Do not be forgotten, live boldly, leave such deep beautiful scars upon the people of this earth that your name and your memory can never die.  Leave so many of the truly good things that your message, your purpose and your love will span the ages and never die.  Do it for your friends, your loved ones, your children, and those lives you have touched, and if you are lucky, even the ones you never met.

Get busy, because, make no mistake, the problem is you think you have time.

"One day you will be just a memory for some people. Do your best to be a good one."
