Memories!

Thoughts about memories

I subscribe to “awesome notes and quotes” and every now and then I see interesting articles. And the topic shared this time is about memories.

“The TRUTH is, that all of the “STUFF” here on earth we work SO hard to buy and accumulate..does NOT mean a thing. At the end of the day…people will be cleaning out our “STUFF” going thru our “STUFF”, figuring out what to do with all of our “STUFF”….this
“STUFF” we’ve accumulated in our life. The only thing of VALUE that remains are the MEMORIES and what we deposit into others.
May we all learn to spend less time accumulating “STUFF” and spend way more time making memories.”

“Memory… is the diary that we all carry about with us. “

“The life of the dead is placed in the memory of the living.” Marcus Tullius Cicero

Leaving you with these thoughts…

The past is over, yet its brightest treasures remain within you. Though you cannot live in the past, every day you carry its value forward.

In your attic the memories gather layer upon layer of dust as time goes by. In your heart, however, the memories gain more vitality and relevance as fresh experiences are woven into them over time.

Much of what you know about yourself comes from who you’ve been, how you’ve lived, all that you’ve discovered. Even the most difficult times in your past can offer you something of benefit today.

And today will itself soon be in your past. Let that thought remind you to live it honestly, authentically, with courage, curiosity and kindness.

For though this day is only yours to live for a short time, the way you live it will become an enduring part of you. Use the opportunity of its hours to give yourself and your world a gift that keeps on giving.

Treasure the memories, whatever they may be, and continually build on them. Learn to become even more of the best you have been.
