It isn't about how long you live but how well you lived.
It isn't about how good you look but how good you are.
It isn't about how capable you are but how hard you try.
It isn't about how well you talk but how much you know.
It isn't about how much love you get but how much you loved.
It isn't about saying something wrong but whether you tried saying.
It isn't about how angry you are but how long you remain angry.
It isn't about the friends you have but how much they understand you.
It isn't about how many stars there are in the sky but how brightly they shine.
It isn't about how much you got but how much people are willing to share with you.
It isn't about how many gifts you receive but how much blessings come with the gifts.
It isn't about how much kindness you show but how much of it comes from your heart.
It isn't about how much you believed but how much you stuck to what you believed.
It isn't about me but about you.

Looking back, have you wondered how long you have focused on all those things that are seemingly important but are actually not?
