You were not born to go to school, get a job, pay off a mortgage and then retire.
You are a miracle on this planet.
Your life is important, and your dreams matter. You are here to fulfill
your wildest dreams, to laugh, experience, and travel with your family
and friends, to inspire those around you and make amazing memories that
will live on in those who loved you.
Because when you are gone, what will matter is not what you bought, but
what you built; not what you got, but what you gave. What will matter
is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that
enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example.
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.
