You’re never too young to start thinking about your legacy… the stuff you’ll be leaving behind; both tangible and intangible. I think about the stuff I leave behind all the time. I mean, I think about this ALL THE TIME.
But no matter how well I craft it, one thing is always going to be true: it’ll all be open to interpretation. I can say I was one way, but the clues I leave may lead someone to another conclusion. Hopefully, the light on that one will be much more sympathetic and nicer than the one that I install. In essence, it doesn’t what I leave behind, no one is going to listen to me anyway.
I think a vast majority of the working stiffs out there really don’t think about legacy… and that’s a shame. Who has time to do that when you’re struggling to make the mortgage? What’s left?
