Memories to Keep - My Legacy

Life is a journey and what makes it worthwhile is the climb: the people we meet, the lessons we learned, the ups and downs and pivotal moments. Every experience helped shape who we are. Maybe you didn’t have a great childhood and vowed to be a great parent. Maybe you worked too much and didn’t invest enough in your own children. Perhaps you got married at to your high school sweetheart at 18 and even though you struggled, know you wouldn’t change a single day or moment. When creating your legacy, you should take a moment to the memories that mattered most to you. These are the memories you should share in your legacy.

When creating your legacy it’s not necessary to share everything. Many people never get started because they feel pressure to share all the details of their life. Remember, this is your legacy so only focus on what’s important to you like the memories and decisions that changed your life. For example what did you decide to do when you graduated or how did you meet your spouse and propose? Preserve your thoughts on having children, getting married, or other major life changing events, people or experiences. This is your life so what you share is totally up to you. There is only one you so focus on what’s important to you and share the memories that express who you are.

How you live matters to someone. Your legacy is the combination of what you achieved, learned and accomplished with your time on earth. Each of us creates a footprint of our legacy through the memories of what we meant to our children, grandchild, family and friends but those memories will fade in time. When you create your legacy, you decide what to share and who your want to know your legacy.

Future generations need to feel a connection with their past and sharing your legacy will provide that missing link. The lessons you learned & values you hold are all keys to what shaped you. It’s important that people do not forget where they came from. If they do, they risk making the same mistakes. By sharing your legacy you are helping future generations learn, grow and appreciate the early sacrifices that lead to their comforts.

What memories should you include in My Legacy? The answer is that when you Create Legacy, all of your memories should be gathered so that you can share your experiences with people that are not that experienced. Show them how life can be!
