"WHAT WILL MATTER"
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 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 circumstance but of choice.
Choose to live a life that matters.

May God make your year a happy one!
Not by shielding you from all sorrows and pain,
But by strengthening you to bear it, as it comes;
Not by making your path easy,
But by making you sturdy to travel any path;
Not by taking hardships from you,
But by taking fear from your heart;
Not by granting you unbroken sunshine,
But by keeping your face bright, even in the shadows;
Not by making your life always pleasant,
But by showing you when people and their causes need you most,
and by making you anxious to be there to help.
God’s love, peace, hope and joy to you for the year ahead






Enough happiness to keep you happy

During the year may you have
Enough happiness to keep you sweet.
Enough trials to keep you strong.
Enough sorrow to keep you human.
Enough hope to keep you happy.
Enough failure to keep you humble.
Enough success to keep you eager.
Enough friends to give you comfort.
Enough wealth to meet your needs.
Enough enthusiasm to make you look forward to tomorrow.
Enough determination to make each day better than the
day before.

Francis David:
We need not think alike to love alike.
WITH THE ABOVE QUOTE,I JUST WANT TO TELL YOU, MY FRIEND THAT
SINCE WE ARE FRIENDS, I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU IN MY OWN WAYS,
EVEN THOUGH I AM HAPPILY MARRIED! FRIENDSHIP WITHOUT LOVE IS
LIKE A LIFELESS GEMSTONE. I WOULD LIKE TO JUST STATE THAT
ALTHOUGH I MAY NOT BE THE BEST FRIEND, I WILL ALWAYS TRY TO BE
THE BEST KIND OF FRIEND I CAN TO YOU.AMEEN.
WITH LOVE AND RESPECT ALWAYS,
SHAKIRA

Elbert Hubbard: The love we give away is the only love we keep.


Elie Wiesel: The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference.
The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference.
And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
(Oct. 1986)


Bertrand Russell:
Three passions have governed my life:
The longings for love, the search for knowledge,
And unbearable pity for the suffering of [humankind].
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.
In the union of love I have seen
In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision
Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.
I have wished to understand the hearts of [people].
I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,
But always pity brought me back to earth;
Cries of pain reverberated in my heart
Of children in famine, of victims tortured
And of old people left helpless.
I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,
And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.

MOST OF ALL…..

I wish all of you a SPECTACULAR WEEKEND
AND A MAGNIFICIENT WEEK!
I have taken off some time to look at something new
I never truly PLANNED but always just GO WITH THE FLOW.
Come what may, I SHALL BE BACK,
ALL MY LOVE,CARE,WARM THOUGHTS AND RESPECT ALWAYS,
SHAKIRA


Han Suyin [Elizabeth Comber]: ...love from one being to another can only be that two solitudes come nearer, recognize and protect and comfort each other.
b. 1917 Chinese writer and physician
