Our Legacy

The Sky is on Fire

Legacy is a powerful force in our lives.  Whether we’re conscious of it or not, Legacy guides our most important actions and, at the same time, is our most important actions.

When we come to the end of the line, we want something to live on past us: our work, our children, something.  One of my favorite quotes capturing this comes from one of Chuck Palahniuk’s novels:

The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

One of the hardest things for someone is realizing that their Legacy won’t be completed.
