Think twice before you speak, because your words

and influence will plant the seed of either success 

or failure in the mind of another.

- Napoleon Hill

You are in charge of your life. The people you interact with

every day are mostly focused on their own fears and needs,

and generally don't make the extra effort to be kind to you.
Forgive them, and take responsibility for creating your own

life as your masterwork.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

I believe the recipe for happiness to be just enough money to

pay the monthly bills you acquire, a little surplus to give you 

confidence,a little too much work each day, enthusiasm for 

your work, a substantialshare of good health, a couple of

real friends and a wife and children to share life's beauty 

with you.

What will Matter 070515

WHAT WILL MATTER, by Michael Josephson

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 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 on 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.

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 will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone.

What will matter is not your memories but the memories of those who

loved you.

What will matter is how long you will be remembered,

by whom and for what.

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.

Your opponent, in the end, is never really the

player on the other side of the net, or the swimmer

in the next lane, or the team on the other side of the

field, or even the bar you must high-jump. 

Your opponent is yourself, your negative internal voices,

your level of determination.
- Grace Lichtenstein
