A Very Powerful Message

in #musing6 years ago (edited)

I woke this morning and checked my messages, I noticed my mom sent me a very long text last night and it says, must read.

I scrolled down and it looked like a novel! So, I didn't start reading it until I had coffee my coffee.

While having my coffee, I started reading the message and I thought I should share it with you guys.


  He died a billionaire at 56yrs of Pancreatic Cancer and here are his last words on the sick bed:

   "I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes my life is an epitome of success.

  However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to.

 At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death.

You can employ someone to drive the car for you, make money for you but you cannot have someone to bear the sickness for you.

Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost – "Life".

When a person goes into the operating room, he will realize that there is one book that he has yet to finish reading – "Book of Healthy Life".

Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.

Treasure Love for your family, love for your spouse, love for your friends...

Treat yourself well. Cherish others. As we grow older, and hence wiser, we slowly realize that wearing a $300 or $30 watch - they both tell the same time...

 Whether we carry a $300 or $30 wallet/handbag - the amount of money inside is the same;

 Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $30,000 car,  the road and distance is the same, and we get to the same destination. 

 Whether we drink a bottle of $300 or $10 wine - the hangover is the same;

Whether the house we live in is 300 or 3000 sq ft - loneliness is the same.

You will realize, your true inner happiness does not come from the material things of this world.

Whether you fly first or economy class, if the plane goes down - you go down with it...

Therefore.. I hope you realize, when you have mates, buddies and old friends, brothers and sisters, who you chat with, laugh with, talk with, have sing songs with, talk about north-south-east-west or heaven and earth, .... That is true happiness!!

I kept on reading...

Five Undeniable Facts of Life :
1. Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be Happy. So when they grow up they will know the value of things not the price.

 2. Best awarded words in London ... "Eat your food as your medicines. Otherwise you have to eat medicines as your food."

  3. The One who loves you will never leave you for another because even if there are 100 reasons to give up he or she will find one reason to hold on.

  4. There is a big difference between a human being and being human. Only a few really understand it.

  5. You are loved when you are born. You will be loved when you die. In between, You have to manage!

NOTE: If you just want to Walk Fast, Walk Alone! But if you want to Walk Far, Walk Together!

I almost cried. I have no words to describe my feelings right now. The message is just so powerful and it hit me hard. Am very lucky to waking up healthy and knowing that I am loved. Also having a lovely family and beautiful friends!

Life is short, enjoy it to the fullest!

Literally I'm about going to bed now in my own country though lol, but this struck me really hard, I've just realised that I should always be thankful with all I have, my family, my friends, health and so on, believing that I'm so blessed in every situation that I am in, @purepinay Thanks for filling my heart with such powerful message.

It was difficult to read easily using the site mode though, not on till I realised you used partiko to post, it's easier viewing with the app 😊😁

There are pillars of life: health, wealth, love, and happiness. These are 4 very essential ones. People often times get caught up in making money & forget to take care of themselves, forget of others who have meaning in their life, and never reach a state of “happiness.” Making money is great, yes, but if you forget about the other essential components, you will be too ill to fulfill the prosperous life that should have been a long road ahead..... THANK YOU MY DEAR ❤️
