Your grandparents’ best legacy might be a habit you picked up without noticing.

Most of what gets passed down arrives without a handover. You pick up how somebody treats a stranger, how they take a setback, whether they finish what they start, and you absorb it years before you could have named it, which is why it feels like your own personality rather than an inheritance. Nothing anybody set out to teach you sticks half as well.

Spend a little while working out which of your habits came from them and are worth keeping. Then be careful with the ones you did not choose, because they are transmitting too, to whoever is watching you now.
