What would you do different if you knew this?


.


Have you ever thought about this?
In 100 years like in 2123 we will all be buried with our relatives and friends.

Strangers will live in our homes we fought so hard to build, and they will own everything we have today. All our possessions will be unknown and unborn, including the car we spent a fortune on, and will probably be scrap, preferably in the hands of an unknown collector.

Or in a few boxes in your relatives garage before it is chucked 

Our descendants will hardly or hardly know who we were, nor will they remember us. 

How many of us know our grandfather's father?

After we die, we will be remembered for a few more years, then we are just a portrait on someone's bookshelf (maybe) , and a few years later our history, photos and deeds disappear in history's oblivion. 

We won't even be memories.

If we paused one day to analyze these questions, perhaps we would understand how ignorant and weak the dream to achieve it all was.

With this in mind, would the approach to how you live chamge? 

Always having more, no time for what's really valuable in this life. 

Maybe do  the walks you’ve  never taken, 
Give thise hugs you didn't give, 
Give those kisses for our children and our loved ones, 
Share thise jokes you  didn't have time for.  

Those would certainly be the most beautiful moments to remember, after all they would fill our lives with joy.

And we waste it day after day with greed, stress  and intolerance.

What would you do different if you knew this?
