“People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” ~Maya Angelou

Legacy is fundamental to what it is to be human. Exploring the idea of legacy offers a glimpse not only into human relationships and building strong communities, but also the human spirit.

“What are you going to do with the time you have left on earth?

Some questions we ask:

  1. Who is going to show up at your funeral and what would they say about you? (1:00)
  2. What values do people take away from you? (2:00)
  3. Are you surviving or thriving? (4:00)
  4. Who are you impacting and what do your words say about you? (7:00)
  5. Have you thought about writing a letter to pass down to a future generation? (7:00)

In this episode, we discuss how you can leave a legacy and breathe meaning into your life.

Whether a legacy involves a particular tangible achievement - like a career title - or as an advocate for a cause, or more ‘simply’ for being a good parent with strong values, it’s entirely up to you.

To work out what you want to be remembered for, you need to figure out what’s important in your life and put a stamp on the future. We all want to leave our mark on this world.

What is the roadmap you are building and working towards?
