What Will Define Your Legacy?

None of us want to be remembered for the last balance in our bank account. Do we? Don't want that written on our tombstone. Or the last title we had on our business card, or how many projects we completed. Is that what you want on your tombstone? We want to be remembered for the kind of person that we are. Devoted, loving. Those are the words it says on our tombstones. And so you can wake up every day to make more money, and you can wake up every day to do more projects. Good luck to you. I wish you the best of luck. And you may succeed in that, and at some point it'll end. Either you'll quit, retire, or get fired, but it's gonna end, right? And the problem is, is you've confused the value of your life and you've confused your purpose with your work. And when you no longer have the work, you will go through an identity crisis like you've never had before. Or you can define yourself by who you are. I define myself as an optimist and author of. And if I no longer write books and I no longer give talks and I'm no longer in the public eye, I will be an optimist till the day I die. And that's the value I hope to give to the world and to the people around me. And every single one of us can do the same.
