Life is not about what we have
It’s about what we give
Life is not about who we are
It’s about who we become
Life is not about where we go
It’s about how we get there
Life is not about what we hoard
It’s about what we let go of
If in the end we can
Give
Grow
Learn
Let go
Then we live
Now, what’s so hard about that?

Thank you so much my friend for reading and for your kind words. We do seem to cling to things, even when it's not in our best interest. Live and learn, I guess. Have a good one!

No come on KP, I say - 'Life is NOT all about who YOU are!' lol.
Well Orchi, from what I've seen online I think that she thinks life is; no it's not, yes it is, no it's not, yes it is. I'm gettin dizzy, better stop now while she's ahead. lol Have a stupendeous day!
Do you subscribe to the magazine she helps to write: 'The Old Trouts Weekly'?! lol.

I loved the format to this poem of great advice. To give is to receive, accepting our imperfections and growing from them is crucial, How we achieve is as important as what, letting go of things is liberating. All so true. Great write dear friend.
