We all want our lives to mean something. We want to know that when we leave this world, we’ve made a difference. But how do we go from simply living day to day to building a legacy that lasts?
For me, it started with a simple question: What do I want to be remembered for? That question changed the way I saw my choices, my relationships, and even my struggles. A legacy isn’t built in a day—it’s built in the everyday.
Here are three simple steps to help you start living with legacy in mind:
Define Your Core Values – What truly matters to you? Family, faith, generosity, leadership? Write it down. Your values should be the foundation of everything you do. If you don’t know what you stand for, it’s easy to drift through life without direction.
Make Small, Consistent Choices – Legacy isn’t about grand gestures; it’s about showing up, every single day. It’s in the kindness you extend, the lessons you pass down, and the integrity you uphold. The small moments create the big impact.
Share Your Story – Your experiences, both the highs and the struggles, can inspire and guide others. Don’t wait until the end of your journey to talk about it. Speak life, share wisdom, and be a light to those around you.
Legacy isn’t something we leave behind; it’s something we create while we’re here. Live with purpose, love deeply, and leave the world better than you found it.
