Yesterday I discovered who i believe
to be a fabulous woman. Her words touched and inspired me.
Here are a few things none of us should
forget by Nadia Ballas-Ruta
Your worth as a human being has
nothing to do with how much money you have or the degrees or any other material
item you think you own. You don’t own anything except for how you live. When
you pass on, the cars, the money and all the things you own will not go with
you. They will stay behind.
Your worth is determined by one
thing and one thing only: how much love have you given to life? Have you
brought joy to others or just misery? I wish I could tell you that I have only
brought joy to others but I have not. I have done things which have hurt people
but I vowed to learn from my mistakes and not repeat them. Sometimes it is easy
and other times it is hard.
So celebrate being you and being
alive. Enjoy the journey. If you have goals, go for them but realize that the
goals do not define who you are. How you go about your day says more about you
than what you achieve.
How you treat a stranger says more about you than how much money you have in
the bank.
