Who will cry at your funeral?

They say that the graveyard is the richest place on earth, for therein lies dreams unfulfilled, books not written, and talents not expressed. There is nothing morbid about death, for this is the natural order of things.

We should not fear death; instead, we should fear not fully expressing ourselves during this brief moment on earth. So it begs the question: who will cry at your funeral?

Understand that people will remember how you made them feel rather than all the money and riches you possessed. We need to be up and going to write the books we dream of; to start the businesses we can’t stop thinking about; to spend quality time with our loved ones; to discover our gifts and serve the world.

Don’t postpone living now only to be buried tomorrow. Enjoy the present moment. Impact as many people as possible. Do as much good as you can. There isn’t much time to waste.

Let the people you impacted not only cry at your funeral but also rejoice in the knowledge that you lived a rich life and gladly shared it with them.
