It was once said that no one ever brings a U-Haul to a funeral and it is so true. The most important and valued things in life are the things that you cannot see.

Let’s take a look at today’s little story which perfectly illustrates the fact of how blessed WE REALLY ARE!

***************

Before dying at the age of 40 from stomach cancer, the world-renowned designer and author “Crisda (Kyrzada) Rodríguez” wrote:

1. I had the world’s most expensive car in my garage, but now I have to use a wheelchair.

2. In my house there are all kinds of branded clothes, shoes and price tags, but now my body is wrapped in a small cloth provided by the hospital.

3. I have a lot of money in the bank. But now I don’t benefit from that amount.

4. My house used to be like a castle, but now I sleep in two beds in the hospital.

5. From five star hotel now spending time in hospital moving from one clinic to another

6. I’ve signed autographs to hundreds of people but this time the medical records are my signature.

7. I’ve been to seven barbershops to get my hair done, but now – I don’t have a single hair on my head.

8. With a private jet, I can fly anywhere, but now I need two assistants to walk to the hospital gate.

9. Even though there is a lot of food, now my diet is two tablets a day and a few drops of salt water in the evening.

10. This house, this car, this plane, this furniture, this bank, the excessive fame and glory, none of it works for me. None of this will calm me down. “There is nothing real except death.” “I have no energy to be angry anymore. I just want to live and love.”

“Don’t let anyone waste your time. Eat the cake. Buy the shoes. Be kind. Forgive. Love. And always, always do it with style.”

At the end of the day, the most important thing is health. Always be happy with how little or much you have while you are healthy, have everything, have a plate of food, a place to sleep… YOU ARE NOT LACKING ANYTHING.
