What kind of life are you leading?
What legacy do you want to leave behind with your life? Sure, these are deep questions. But they’re questions that we should all think about from time to time.
Why? Because we’re not here to just be here. We’re here to use our lives to make the world a better place, to contribute to the world. When we are able to grasp the impact that living for something bigger than ourselves can have, we then realize that our lives are not just about us. Instead, it’s about our using our lives to inspire or help others. After all, we’re not going to be around forever, so we should become a part of something that will.
