Legacy isn’t a statue. It’s what people do differently because you were around.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Being remembered is not the same as having an effect. The honest measure is behavioural: somebody speaks to their sister differently, stays in a sport, applies for the thing, because of something you said or did without thinking much of it. That kind of influence is invisible to you and completely real to them.

Find one person whose week you could make easier, and make it easier in a specific way rather than a general one. The question worth carrying is not whether people will remember you. It is whether anybody does anything differently, and only that one is in your hands.
