“It is not about how attractive we are, how much money we have, how many expensive things we own. It is about what impact we make on others, what contributions we make in the world, and what legacy we want to leave behind.” – Danny Gautama (The Fighter)
I am sure you have heard this before when someone asks, “How do you want to be remembered?” They usually answer with an optimistic response.
Being put on this earth is something to be grateful and appreciative of. It is God saying, “I gave you life. Now do what you are meant to do. Make this world a little better than it is. Go out there and live.”
Unfortunately, some who are in this world don’t realize they have a role, duty, and an obligation to carry out. Some coast through life and don’t feel like putting in any effort. Some are stuck in break ups, negativity, drama, hatred, anger, bitterness, and being judgment
They are bright people who are too focused on the things that are not helping them reach their full potential and the impact they could be making.
It starts with realizing that you are better and way more than you will ever think you are. There are certain things you and I can do to create a life of fulfillment, passion, and purpose.
Be a Giver
Giving with a sincere and kind heart without the expectations of receiving back is something I have done for a long time. I love to give to others. I love to let others know just how special they are. We all want to feel important, appreciative, and loved. But it is just as important to make others feel this way too.
It can be sending a “Thinking about you card,” donating money to a worthy cause, donating food items to homeless shelters, or simply asking how they are doing. Anything that makes others feel grateful and appreciative that an exceptional person likes you exists.
Kindness
To be kind is beautiful. It is a special quality to have. Kindness shows your character. It shows your disposition and elegance to other people. It becomes who you are. It does not take effort to be kind. And it certainly does not cost you a dime.
I try to do one act of kindness a day. It feels good to be kind and it is just the right thing to do.
Be sweet, gentle, and peaceful loving. But never forget to be assertive and stand up and respect yourself enough that you will not tolerate being taken advantage of. This is another remarkable trait, in addition to being kind.
Love others
When you have love in your heart, there is no fear. Always choose love. Be a person who loves, accepts, and sincerely cares for other people. The world can be cruel and unkind, but you are not one of those people. It is about loving and accepting people regardless of their religion, colour, race, creed, and ranking.
Persevere and Prosper
No one can beat another person who refuses to give up. NO ONE. This is actually one of the things you and I definitely want to be remembered for.
A person who keeps fighting in life is an admirable person who has dignity, courage, and strength. Whatever happens in your life, never let it stop you from doing what you are meant to do in this world. Remain a fighting champion and show the world that you are not a quitter.
Be an advocate and support it all the way
Whatever it is that you stand for and support, be fearless and share your voice. Be a leader and help change the world by doing great things. Advocate for mental health, sexual violence, animal cruelty, anti -bullying, etc. Whatever it is, you can spark the change, in addition to others who support what you are doing.
Always stand for the right things and what is considered moral in our society.
Live your life and be Adventurous
Living your life is putting faith and trust in God that He will protect you. Do not worry about anything. The best thing you can do is take the biggest risks in your life. Be happy, travel, go on a cruise, or another country, and explore nature. And if you are financially unable to, then plan something fun close by.
Just be free and do whatever you want to do, without having any strings trying to pull you back. Cut those strings and fly. A lot of people are remembered for living their life to the fullest and not associating with negativity. Be that person.
Become a Success
Whatever you are in pursuit of in your life, be the best at it. Work hard each and every day to climb the ladder. Success is never point A to point B. There are a lot of twists, turns, roadblocks, obstacles, and struggles. But that’s okay. Each adversity we overcome gives us one step, one notch, and one climb towards where are heading.
So, my friends, it does not get any better than helping others. There are so many people who are hurting in this world. And sometimes they need others to give them a helping hand to make them feel like everything is going to be okay.
Whatever you are doing in your life or whatever you want to do, make sure it has something to do with helping, inspiring and changing people’s lives.
Give back to your community. Share your wisdom, knowledge, and give sincere advice. This world needs your help. You can spark a change in someone’s life and it may become a ripple effect.
Helping others is like God sending His Angels to come to the rescue at the right time. Helping people gives them relief that people like you exist in this world. Because let’s face it, the world can be cruel sometimes. So, stand out and be different. Focus more on others and you will be happier too.
So, my question to you is … how do you want to be remembered?
