Keith Craft: Your legacy is not about you...Your legacy is what happens BECAUSE OF YOU!
Your legacy is not about you...Your legacy is what happens BECAUSE OF YOU!
The thought behind the quote
Pericles once said, “What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.” The legacy that matters most is not the physical possessions we leave behind, but the lasting influence we have on those around us—especially our children and their children.
A legacy is formed through everyday interactions, consistent behaviors, and the values we instill in others. How we make others feel, what we teach them, and the example we set are all woven together into a beautiful tapestry that represents our life. Each day, we have the opportunity to add threads to that tapestry—threads of kindness, courage, love, faith, and wisdom.
