funeral precession


I was sitting in a subway eating when I heard a country song called "don't blink". I almost started crying while sitting alone in a booth thinking about life and my incredible family. I then walked outside and saw a funeral precession drive by. It challenged me to think about how I'm living, loving and leading. What will be said about me when my life is over, by my friends, those who followed me, and even more importantly my family. When that day comes, and we are put in the ground, it's not what is said, but who shows up. It's not what you said in life, but what you did. It's not who you wanted to become, but rather who you became. We can never regain lost time, but we do have a choice of how we spend the now. Spend wisely.
