28. LEAVING A LEGACY
•Material Possession
“People say that when you think about leaving a legacy you feel a lot
happier and purposeful. The more I thought about the topic the more I
understood that while leaving a legacy is important it is not as important as
living your legacy. I would like people to talk about me in the way I want
to be known when I am alive. I think this is more exciting than thinking of
what people will say when I am no longer there.”
