How Will The Value of Our Days Be Measured?

I found this inspiring when I was reading Joyce Meyers' book The Secret To Happiness a little while back and was just reading it again today :

" How will the value of our 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 matters 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 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 doesn't happen by accident.  It's not a matter of circumstances but of choice.

Choose a life that matters "


"..but if I have not love, I am nothing."  1 Corinthians 13.2
