You’re not “living your life” – you’re building a legacy. Make sure it’s something that contributes positively for generations to come.
And your legacy doesn’t have to be something grand or expansive. It can be something simple – like “my grandfather taught me to read and write and draw. He always said ‘Reading helps you understand the world, writing helps you learn the language and explain the world to others, and drawing helps you accurately observe and appreciate the world around you.'”
You don’t have to leave behind a billion dollars and a research foundation to leave behind a legacy. All you have to do is leave some guideposts for living well and selflessly and kindly and generously.
