The End Note. In The Book Of Life.
Yesterday I attended a funeral. It was a respectful service that truly honored the person exactly as she was. She has lived as a bright example. Always. Throughout her whole life. Always supportive. Helping others. A humble giving hand. She did not become famous. She did not have the highest title. She was not the leading manager in a multinational. She was not in the newspapers. She simply was a compassionate mother for her children, a loving partner and a genuinely caring human being towards others. She offered her true love to the ones that crossed her path. She really listened to others and invited them to share their joy and sadness with her. Meaningless to say that the church was full of people that wanted to bring a last present of gratitude to this beautiful woman. She will continue to live in the hearts of her family and friends. Forever.
When the book of life is closing and the end note is created - by the mystery of life - we become silent. Very silent. Deep within. We hear our own voice. For once. All things are put into perspective. Just like that. We sometimes worry about things that are meaningless. We are good at creating drama. From time to time. We see obstacles. We complain about the weather. Our patience is lost. We are stubborn and refuse to talk to people that have hurted us. We see the world through our glasses and people have to meet our requirements. It is only in precious moments like a funeral that we realize we have a limited time on earth. How can we use this gift in the best way possible? What will be our legacy? How will we be remembered?
Bronnie Ware, songwriter and bestselling author, has written about the regrets of the dying in her blog posts. For more information, please visit: http://www.bronnieware.com/regrets-of-the-dying/ and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nayz3xJxRTA. I wonder, what we would regret at the end of our lives? Suppose we find it out right now, we still would have the chance to change direction to create the most fulfilling end note. In our book. It is never too late to be who we really want to be. The beautiful woman that passed away, was and is an angel in the heart of many. She will forever be loved. During the funeral, the sun was shining in the most magnificent way. I believe it was a sign of her. To tell us, that she will continue her good deeds and that she has found peace. She looks at us from a higher perspective. What about you?
What five courageous actions could you take now to stop feeding future regrets?
