In life, everyone wants to be remembered whether in a good way or bad way. But people want to be remembered for the good deeds which they have done.
Leaving a good legacy behind especially when you are no longer in the world will make people remember you for those good deeds and it will go as long as helping the ones which you have left behind. Most times, the things we do pave the way for us in the future and even for our relatives.
As I reflect on my life and the impact I hope to leave on the world, I realized that there are essential things I need to do so that I will be remembered even when am gone from this Earth.
Firstly, I would want to live a life of love and compassion. Love is the greatest thing one can give to someone especially when the person is facing one challenge or the other. I would want to be remembered for the love I shared with others. Being kind, compassion and showing empathy are the foundation of every meaningful relationship in the society. The people you show love and compassion to will never forget you in life.
We have people that don't know how to show empathy and that kind of people will never understand what a person is going through and such person will also be remembered for something but in a bad way.
Secondly, I would like to live a life of impacting on people positively. I would want to be remembered for my commitment to making positive impact in the society I see myself. Whether in my work place, or engaging in community services. I want people to remember me as someone who always contribute to causes that benefit the society. I would like to be remembered as someone who uses her skills, talents and resources to drive positive change that inspire others in the society and leave a lasting legacy.
Thirdly, I would like to be remembered for my resilience and determination in the face of challenges. The life we are living is full with ups and downs and how you are able to navigate through will make you a strong person. I have always tried to approach life with a positive mindset, learning from my mistakes and using it as an opportunities for my growth. I would like to be remembered for as someone who persevere in time of difficulties and always stand up strong.
Finally, I would like to be remembered for integrity. I want people to remember me as someone who always say the truth at all times and being honest in all my doings. I have always tried to stay true to myself and value my principles even when I'm faced with difficulties. I would like to be remembered for as someone that is always transparent and genuine in all interactions.
All these things I mentioned are how I want to be remembered for. As I strive to live a life that reflect all these values, I hope to leave a lasting impression on those around me and make a meaningful difference in the world.
