From the movie "The Guardian";
What makes a legend?
Is it what someone does when they are alive?
Or how they are remembered when they are gone?
The question here is this; how do you want to be remembered?
Would you prefer to be remembered when you are still alive?
Or...would you prefer to be remembered after you are gone?
Personally, I choose to be remembered after I'm gone.
Why?
When I'm alive, I don't need to be remembered. I can make an impact in people's lives any day.
However...
When I'm gone, I wanna be remembered because that's when I can't be around physically to make an impact in people's lives.
In this world, you are made eternal in two ways;
1) In writing. Songs, poems, stories...etc.
2) In memory. You live on in the hearts and minds of those who once knew you and who you once made an impact in their lives.
Being a legend means doing incredible things while you are alive and being remembered for those feats when you are gone.
Live to be a legend. A good one.

ReplyDeletewhy do things for people to remember?
do things because you want to.
do things because you want to help.
do things because we want to learn, help and be helped. :)
