LIFE is not about our accomplishments or the things we own; it’s really about the love and kindness we share with others.

Beyond the Body: Embracing What Truly Matters in Life

What truly matters in lifeWhen we pass away, our identity shifts dramatically. We become “the body.” Phrases like “the body has just arrived,” or “the body is going to the village tomorrow” reflect this change. Suddenly, our names are forgotten, and we are reduced to mere mortal remains.

As the famous author and philosopher Leo Tolstoy once said, “The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.” Yet, at the end of our lives, we often find ourselves remembered not for our contributions, but simply as a lifeless form.

In a morgue, we can be identified by a number, stripped of our achievements and titles. All the wealth, diplomas, and accolades we gathered during our lifetime become meaningless. As the renowned motivational speaker Zig Ziglar wisely noted, “You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” However, when we reach the end, we realize that greatness is not measured by material success, but by the impact we have on others.

What truly matters in life

When facing our final moments, rarely do we hear someone say, “Bring me my diplomas! I want to see my awards one last time!” Instead, what truly matters becomes clear. People reflect on their relationships, love, and how they treated others. The possessions we cling to fade into the background.

It is crucial to understand this truth now, rather than waiting until we are on our deathbeds. As the famous poet Rumi said, “The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” Recognizing our flaws and working to improve our character is essential. When we leave this world, we take nothing with us except our character—our kindness, our integrity, and our compassion.

Think about it: your pride, anger, deceit, and negativity will accompany you, and they will be judged. In that moment, friends and material possessions will not matter. You will stand alone, facing the consequences of your actions.

With this knowledge, I urge you to reflect on your life today. Make a conscious decision to change your ways toward others and your family. The time to act is now. As the famous writer Mark Twain said, “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.” Don’t wait until it’s too late to make amends or to show love and kindness.

We all have an expiration date. Life is precious, and we must make the most of it. Embrace the opportunity to grow, to love, and to serve. Repent for past mistakes and strive to leave a legacy that reflects your true character. Remember, it’s not about what you leave behind in terms of possessions, but the love and kindness you shared that will echo in the hearts of those you leave behind.
