The habits you hand down will outlive anything with your name printed on it.

Possessions and titles fade, while behaviour copies itself. The way you speak to people when you are tired, how you handle being wrong, whether you keep small promises, all of it gets absorbed by whoever is nearby and carried forward without anyone deciding to. That transfer happens whether or not you intend it.

Pick one habit you would be content to see repeated by a younger person who watches you. Work on that one, not on the version of yourself you describe out loud. What gets passed on is the practice, never the speech about the practice.
