What Will Matter by Michael Josephson

“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 how hard you tried.

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 chance, but of choice.

Choose to live a life that matters.”
