I think people often think about material wealth, or a great deed that they can leave behind. I think that there are people who have done and have shaped history. Those people wouldn’t exist, though, without the collective consciousness of humanity; our constant strive to be more. Think of greats like MLKJr or Mandela; great men but their causes and how they employed their virtue in relationship to the causes is what made them great. The causes are the collective desire of humanity; our soul striving to be better because we know there is better because our souls are embedded in the image of God.

Most people want to leave a legacy that others will remember. A legacy that leaves our family better off for whatever their future holds. I believe this stems from our fear of death. We desire to “live” in the memories of others.

Most people want to leave a lasting legacy. It is part of our inner desire to have communion and purpose with others – to leave an imprint in others lives.

Most people wish to leave a legacy that will last the test of time. The is because people want to be remembered.
