-surprised the man responded: Now?So soon?I had a lot of plans….
-I am sorry but its time to go
-What do you have in that suitcase?The man asked
-God answered: Your belongings
-my belongings?You mean my things, my clothes. my money?
-God answered: Those things were not yours they belonged to the earth.
-Is it my memories? the man asked.
-God answered: Those never belonged to you they belong to Time
-Is it my talents?
-God answered: Those were never yours they belonged to the circumstances.
-Is it my friends and family?
-God answered: I am sorry they were never yours they they belonged to your path.
-Is it my wife and son?
-God answered: They were never yours they they belonged to your path

-God answered: No that is mine
Full of fear, the man took the suitcase from god and opened it just to find out the suitcase was empty.
-With tear coming down his cheek the man said: I never had anything???
-God answered: that is correct, every moment you lived were only yours. Life is just a moment a moment that belongs to you. For this reason enjoy this time while you have it. Don’t let anything you think you own stop you from doing so.
-live now
-Live your life
-Don’t forget to be happy, that is the only thing that matters.
-Material things and anything else hat you fought for will stay here
-YOU CAN’T TAKE ANYTHING
