"Every time the long-forgotten people of the past
are remembered, they are born again!"
Mehmet Murat ildan
Many of us are determined to leave a mark on life to be remembered well passed our life time. A street named after us, a college hall, scholarship or discovery might just do the trick for some. There are those who sadly believe no one will remember them. Some simply do not care and are generally remembered as an arse.
If we sincerely want to make an impression upon those we leave behind, one must discover an authentic strength about themselves and generously share it with others. Life calls us to be present for ourselves and for others. Share our gift and honor the present/presence of others.
There is no greater gift to the world than offering ourselves as willing participants in life as it unfolds. We are not all rocket scientists or wealthy benefactors, but if we are kind, respectful, and compassionate, there will be those who we do not even know who will see us in memory long after we are gone.
