Something inspirational:

“The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.”

6 comments on “Our legacy”

  1. I don't mean this as a advertisement of my book but I released my book to tell my story, to inspire and inform others.

    When I am gone the book will still be able to help people with cerebral palsy through hard times and offer them hope.

    1. No problem Stuart.

      I believe that what we do in our life, we do for ourselves first. Your story is primarily about you, your life and your experiences.

      If what you write then begins to help others, then that becomes your legacy. Without our stories we have no legacy. It starts with us first.

  2. I truly believe this.

    I can't get the words out right now of what I'm thinking but I believe this to be very true of what we do for others.

  3. My legacy has been something that has been on my mind as of late. I'm hoping that I will be able to be of some use in the future to help others the way people have helped me.

    It would be such a great thing to have happen. I'm thinking that if I continue working to improve myself that this will be the case.

    1. Randy I am sure if you continue to do what you're doing, you can do something about giving back to others who need support.

      It's a great feeling being able to help others. The help that you give may end up being your legacy. That's usually how it works.
