Live Today

You can't take anything with you

By Rohitha LankaPublished 9 months ago 1 min read

Don't think too much about life.

When you die, you can't take anything with you.

Life is what you have, that's all it is.

How long do people live?

No one knows.

They're too busy building and accumulating.

But they forget to enjoy the present.

Some people don't even get to live their lives before they're gone.

Some happiness, some sadness.

It's the nature of life.

But if we're happy every day,

As much as we can, that's the best.

Don't forget that "today"

Is our life. Make the most of it...
