Vita brevis, glory eternal (Part 2 of 2)

Gloria Aeterna-Latin for Glory is Eternal

So in my first post I briefly expounded upon the idea that "life is short," and that we should make the most of our opportunites. Today, I'd like to touch on the idea of glory being eternal.

Now, I'd like to make a couple of caveats before going on with this:

1. When I speak of "eternal glory," I really mean it in more of a temporal, time-space-continuum-bound setting.

2. Glory on Earth is much less sweet than glory in the great beyond.

3. To live for one's own glory is antithetical (chew on that for a while).

This video captures what I'm talking about.

We spend so much of our life waiting to be led, marching to someone else's beat. Don't let your entire life be spent on someone else's dreams. Have your own and live for the glory of those shining moments.
