Make Life Your Legacy
It’s something we all think about at some point: How will we be remembered? Will it be for the things we left behind, or will we be remembered for what we did to make a difference? Our legacies say something about us as people. How we chose to live. What was important to us. When we showed up to help, when we cared, when we gave — that’s our legacy. A legacy that lasts.
