WHAT matters most

To experience what truly matters imagine you are much older, nearing the end of your life, you have 60 seconds left to live, 60 seconds left to think, what will be the last moments that you think of, your bank account, the money you leave behind, work on Monday, that project that is due, you prized car you won’t drive anymore, no, you will not think of any of these because they do not matter, what you will find yourself thinking of is your family, your friends, the warm sun on your face, sleigh riding in the winter, swimming on a hot day, your children, your grandchildren, your wife or husband, brother or sister or mother, or the birds chirping on a summer day, this is stuff that matters, and in that last 60 seconds of your life you’ve realized you directed your energy in the wrong direction, for all those years.
