When do our qualities as a person shine most brightly........?

Question

During our lives when our words and deeds are fresh, or after we are gone when they reside in the hearts and minds of those who knew us?

Answer 1

I think it's the moment that our actions touch someone. It may be right when we are talking to them or 20 years later or after we die.

Answer 2

our qualities as a person shine most brightly when we need them to the most

but to answer your question directly its after we are gone when they reside in the hearts and minds of those who knew us that our qualities shine most bright because this is when people actually start to think about us and our lives

Answer 3

I think our qualities as a person shine the brightest when we give up ourselves or something very important to us and sacrifice it for our loved ones. Therefore when they are gone and reside in the hearts and minds of those who knew us they still shine brightly and you feel good in your heart :)

Answer 4

I think that both our positive and negative qualities are most evident when we are living. It is inevitable that once we are gone people's memories will begin to dim. As wonderful as Mozart seems to us today, or Einstein, or Ghandi, or my grandmother, their brilliance is not as vivid as when they were alive.

Answer 5

When we are doing what we love. But it is a beautiful tribute to us if we are remembered by those that loved us after we have gone.

Answer 6

they shine most brightly during our most difficult times, ours or someone elses.........now or later carries no weight in the matter

Answer 7

You can't help anybody after you're gone.

Answer 8

When we are coming from our spirit and not our mind.

Answer 9

When we reach our full potential.

Answer 10

When we are being honestly ourselves.
