Most of us won't be remembered beyond a few generations. What kind of long-lasting impact do we want to have on the world, and is it optional to do so?
no but this is so comforting too? because while we WANT to strive for a big legacy, it's alright if we don't and impact the people we love in small ways, make their lives just a little bit better. isn't that a big impact as well, loving people and making them happy?
for some reason i'm not getting your emails so i'm catching up on them now so bear with me as i comment a bunch haha.
I love this question. When I was younger I was certain that fame was the only way to leave a marker on the world. Creating a piece of art or a cultural/political contribution that would live on after I was gone. Now, I'm much more focused on how I make people feel and the relationships that I build. What meaningful connections can I create that people will remember?
