it is not who you are in material terms but the character that you have inside that defines you as a person. it is not the car that you drive, the food that you eat, the clothes that you wear that make you shine. it is not the outside beauty that you possess, your straight or curly hair or the whiteness of your skin. it is the beauty of the inner you that will be important when people will remember or talk about you at the end. for beauty fades but character reigns in people's mind as days turn to years.it is not the language that you spoke, the written novels that you penned but the meaning of it that will grab people's attention. it is not the master pieces that you've displayed as an artist but the message that they entailed. did they made them think and inspired them to rise and to dream of better things. did it made them to create and alleviate sadness and suffering around the world. did it made them smile so true that it created change in a positive sense.
it is not the way you sing a song, deliver a speech or the way you danced. it is not the way you played the piano, the pipe or the drum. it is not the angelic voice the well rehearsed lines. it is on how the audience viewed you, is it positive and is it divine.
did it moved them and inspired them to be a better person and acted as one. did it made them a happy person, laughed and smiled. did they or not... that is the measure on how you've lived and loved. life's lessons learned, life's lessons best that only a human heart can give to us...

life is a lesson in itself. it is timed and short. so let's start to savor its beauty and concentrate on the positive side :) the uplifting and the inspiring. the rosy and the bright side. for time is just not there to wallow into sadness and despair. to deal in darkness and doom. rise when we fall. dream of better things at every coming of a new dawn, always...until the end...
JOY by Giovanni is the music on air :>
