What Really Matters

Something written by an American girl (j.s.) which I find quite profound but simple, philosophical yet meaningful, succinct yet on the mark:

Not where you live, but how you live.
Not what you say, but what you do.
Not what you take, but what you give.
Not what you own, but what you share.
Not what you avenge, but what you forgive.
Not who you know, but who you help.
Not how you play, but how you pray.
Not how you enjoy, but how you endure.
Not how you look, but who you are.
Not how much you work, but how much you love.
Not what's in the bank, but what's in your heart.
Not what others think of you, but what God knows.
