Just read this… and thot it was good ‘food for thot’

“When you were born, you alone were crying and everybody else was happy. The important question I want to ask is this: when you die are you alone going to be happy, leaving everybody else crying?”

“The answer depends on whether you live to gain titles or testimonies. When they lay you in the grave, are people going to stand reciting fancy titles you earned, or are they going to stand around giving testimonies of the good things you did for them. . .?”

“There’s nothing wrong with titles. Titles are good things to have. But if it ever comes down to a choice between a title or a testimony– go for the testimony.”
