Every man dies. Not every man really lives.
William Wallace
No matter how busy our lives can be, a day of reflection comes every year.
At least once we can’t help it but reflect in things past.
Have we achieved our goals for this year?
Have we saved as much as we wanted to?
Have we made up peace with someone?
Have we gotten a raise?
Have we meditated enough?
Those can be truly important things to reflect upon…but if those ARE the important things we do reflect upon, then our lives are nothing more than a flicker of a candle waiting to be extinguished.
How many lives have you touched?
How many lives have you changed?
How many have you influenced in a good way?
If you died today…how worth living was your life?
Will you be remembered?
How will you be remembered; or will you fade in the ocean of faces unknown, a specter to be dismissed and exorcised forever from this World when his sentence is due.
Lesson learned: Shine bright as the sun and your life will be worth living.
