What is the legacy you are building?

“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.”

Albert Pine

What will your great-grandchildren remember about you? Not your money, your career, or your status, they will only remember the impact you had on their lives. 

Andrew Carnegie had more money than anyone could imagine, but his legacy isn’t his wealth. It’s the libraries and institutions he built and the lives he touched through them. Carnegie understood that what we give lasts far longer than what we keep.

What does this mean for us? Every day we have a choice; to invest in people or chase things that fade. The money, the titles, they all die with us. But the lives we impact, the love we give, that’s immortal.

Your legacy starts now. What will you do with it today?
