What "Will" I leave behind ..?

Five months ago me and my brother lost our beloved mother to cancer ...we are still grieving and experiencing waves of tears. How fragile and vulnerable we are, isn't it? When time comes we all have to drop this "Garment ".

Whole life we run behind how to earn more money, wealth and assets to have luxurious life . Work hard,day and night, ignoring our health,our loved ones, our families but at the end of the day whatever we have accumulated our whole life, each and everything, we just leave here and go absolutely empty handed . .no matter if we are a king or a billionaire or a millionaire or a begger, all leave the same way..

When we see our time approaching we make a legal document -our "Will " to express our wishes as to how our property, our assets to be distributed after death, among children or persons whomever we want to give ..we wouldn't even know how this property will be used or misused later after our death..
(There are instances where we see children /successors fighting over the Will ).

I am not going against having a luxurious life or leaving wealth for loved ones . We all are here to experience the life in its full potential.
Earn how much you want to earn, play with wealth, use branded things, enjoy all the luxury in life like a king but.....don't forget the TRUTH - IT WILL ALL BE LEFT HERE ONE DAY and you will be sitting and writing your Last "Will" ..
Have you ever thought what are you earning for Your "Trueself" , that would be going with you , how would you like to be know and remembered after you drop this "Human Uniform"..?
What about writing this "Will" for yourself ?
For writing our last Will we still have enough time with us but for writing Will for our own self, each and every precious moment is slipping out of our hands ..
Write your own "Will" now - Take a beautiful paper and a marker of any colour you like..
Give it a title -My Will
And then write in your most beautiful handwriting , how would I like to be known and remembered. Decorate it and once you are happy with it paste it on the wall where you can have the best view of it . Look at it everyday , repeat it in your heart and be one with it ..believe me this will bring a shift in your life , your actions will be driven according to your Own Will for your Trueself!

Even though five months have passed we are still receiving messages in her remembrance from her friends and far and near ones whomever she met even once and touched their lives . All the messages are so full of love and praise for her . She was a giver ..giver of unconditional love...she used to greet everyone with a sweet smile and a tight compassionate hug , if someone liked her dress , she would wash and keep it nicely to give it on their next meeting . On her morning walks she will not only talk and wish good morning to people on her way but would love and hug and talk to their dogs too. If someone said I like Indian food she used to invite them over no matter who that person was -a neighbour , a friend , a taxi driver , a house cleaner or a gardner to give them a treat of Indian food cooked with her own hands . She used to craft gifts for others by knitting , crochet , quilting or would prepare a plant pot in advance so it would be nicely grown to give someone as a birthday or aniversary gift .
She never returned anger with anger ..
She went through so many ups and downs in life but always remained calm and accepted every situation bravely .
Even when the team of doctors gave her the news that she is having cancer she was absolutely calm . Doctors asked her again and again for the treatment but she gracefully refused and said I have lived my life, just give me discharge, I want to go home and relax. At that time also she didn't forget to hug and kiss doctors and said goodbye to them with a big smile .

I am not writing this post to praise her or to tell how wonderful woman our mother was ..it is the love what she is receiving after leaving Mother Earth which made me realise, what really do we leave behind OR rather "take" with us ..
She never played in wealth or had a luxurious life but whatever she had she always had enough to share with others , specially her unconditional love ...
and that was her "Will" .Her last words were -There is nothing in this world except love, keep giving my children .

She did not leave any property or money for us but the wealth she left for us is priceless . She left life changing lessons for us -lessons of unconditional Love, Sharing, Forgiveness , Touching lives with love & kindness , Non injury, Gratitude, Acceptance..and more .

We all have a treasure of hidden talents in us, we all have Divine beauty, Divine Love in our hearts we all have so much to share and give to others , to Mother Earth and to Universe ...we just need to ask -What "Will" I leave behind ....which “ will also go with me ....
