Do you know what will happen after your funeral?


In a few short hours, the crying will die down. 


And your family are gonna start making arrangements to feed your relatives and friends. 


Some of your relatives are gonna be discussing the old times they remember of you.


And some people will call your family to tell them that they can't make it in person because of some emergency.  


Others are gonna start making travel arrangements to go back home. 


Because life is just too short. 


And someone in your family is gonna start arguing that they contributed more financially then others. 


Eventually, the crowd is gonna go their own separate ways.


And every once and awhile, your cell phone will ring from people that didn't even realise you'd died. 


In a few days, your children will go back to work. 


Your employer will begin to search for your replacement. 


There'll be new elections new scandals and the traffic on the M25 will be exactly the same. 


In six months, your spouse will be watching a comedy on TV and they will start laughing. 


The first anniversary of your passing will be celebrated in a grand way. 


But you will be forgotten at an astonishing pace. 


Everyone's life will go back to normal. 


But in a blink of an eye years are going to have gone by. 


There will be very few people left to remember you. 


Now tell me...


If people will forget you so easily. 


Then WHO are you living your life for?


You spend your whole life worrying about what people think about you. 


They don't.


And they won't. 


Live your life, for YOU.
