Legacy

I wanna build something that is bigger than myself.

Just enjoying my life and having the best possible time in life is not enough for me. I want to leave the world something behind, some kind of legacy.

Maybe it’ll be a book, maybe a movie, a blog, maybe a class that I’m gonna teach, maybe a building or an institution, maybe some form of art.

There are many ways one can build his legacy, and I’m not entirely sure at this moment what’s that gonna be for me.

I know that I want to combine my experiences and learnings in an intelligent, creative way so that it’ll be helpful to other people. I want to purposefully create my legacy.

That’s the driving force behind all my actions and decisions. That’s what makes me get up in the morning with motivation and joy.

It’s the journey that matters, soak it in. Learn lessons out of it. Impact positively so that if you never get to your destination, at least you’d leave a legacy to be remembered.
