‎"In the end these things matter most: How well did you love? How fully did you live? How deeply did you let go?" – Siddhārtha Gautama

How well did you love yourself, your family, friends, partners, communities, world?  How full did you live your life, your dreams, your Vision of your world, your reality no matter what the circumstances?  How deeply did you let go of your pain, your suffering, those who hurt you, those you hurt, your mistakes, failures, all the money and fortunes you gain or lost?

In the end these things matter most. But until we get there, what are you doing now, today, in these circumstances, current condition,  marketplace, economy, and reality to make those things important and a top priority in your life?  Are you stuck in a job, in your routines, in a rut to realize what is important, to realize how precious life is now, and how no one really knows when their end will be.  So why put it off, why procrastinate, why live your life as if your end will not come because it will, and when it does, will you be prepared, will you have spent your life on what matters most or not?

Am I asking too many questions, is this too confusing, are you unclear with the answers? Then I suggest you take time to meditate, have some tea, and gain the clarity you need to really focus and know who you are and choose to be in this life.  That's what I did tonight, had some tea, meditated via cyberspace with a friend (although alone is great as well) and the answers for me to all those questions came.  Meditation help me to get off the wheel, you know the wheel of your life that goes around and around, aka the trend mill, stop the distractions, and released me from the cares and burdens of my world. It awaken in me my deeper, more profound and Truer Nature, and allowed me to be free.  In this space, the answers came, clarity realized, and awareness of the purpose and truth about my Self and what is important to me manifested.

Now it's your turn, take the time now while you still have it to find your clarity, peace, freedom, and begin living your life based on the things in the end that matter most...You will never regret it!!
