And when we do finally depart , we will take absolutely nothing with us ; not even the “ fun we had ”; not even our “ greatest success ”; not even the personal identities we have so finely honed over the many weeks & months & years since our birth .
Will our “ Souls ” live forever ? Possibly so … And yet one thing is for sure : “ You ” as you know “ You ” today will not be making that journey . Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand ……. THIS IS A VERY GOOD THING !
You see , it is THIS Truth is what makes every moment of THIS life priceless … It is THIS Truth that makes every selfless act a deed of true Power … And it is THIS Truth that has every conscious moment literally overflowing with amazing Beauty … If only we would pause to notice those miracles ; if only we would reach out to do those Kind deeds .
So , my Friends , let ’ s avoid saying that we are going to serve our communities tomorrow … that tomorrow we will be Kind to a stranger … that tomorrow we will forgive an enemy … that tomorrow we will give past the point of comfort .
Why wait for tomorrow ? … For tomorrow truly never comes .
Why not now ?
“‘ The story of my recent life ’ makes more sense to me than ‘ the story of my life ’, because we each get so many lives between birth and death -- a life to be a child ; a life to come of age ; a life to wander , to settle , to fall in love , to parent , to test our promise , to realize our mortality – and in some lucky cases , to do something even after that profound realization .” ~ inspired by Mitch Albom
