A very inspiring post from Seth Godin – one of my favorite blogs:
You matter
- When you love the work you do and the people you do it with, you matter.
- When you are so gracious and generous and aware that you think of other people before yourself, you matter.
- When you leave the world a better place than you found it, you matter.
- When you continue to raise the bar on what you do and how you do it, you matter.
- When you teach and forgive and teach more before you rush to judge and demean, you matter.
- When you touch the people in your life through your actions (and your words), you matter.
- When kids grow up wanting to be you, you matter.
- When you see the world as it is, but insist on making it more like it could be, you matter.
- When you inspire a Nobel prize winner or a slum dweller, you matter.
- When the room brightens when you walk in, you matter.
- And when the legacy you leave behind lasts for hours, days or a lifetime, you matter.

Wise words indeed. How do we aspire to be so that we “matter”? Someone somewhere suggested that each one of us sit down and pen our eulogy that we would love to hear about ourself. In the years that lie ahead, go out and make this eulogy that would be delivered at your funeral a reality.
