How will the value of your days be measured?

What will matter…

What will matter is not what you bought but what you built.

What will matter is 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 feel a lasting loss when you’re 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 significant life doesn’t happen by accident. It’s not a matter of circumstance, but of choice. Choose to live a significant life.

- Michael Josephson
