“The things you do for yourself are gone when you are gone, but the things you do for others remain as your legacy.”
Take Action:
Get out your journal and write your own eulogy and the legacy you will be leaving.
What would people say about you if you were to die tomorrow? Does that match with the legacy you want to leave?
“Making a living and making a life sometimes point in opposite directions.”
“I think many of us have the sensation that we’re standing about two inches away from a huge screen, and it’s noisy and it’s crowded and it’s changing with every second, and that screen is our lives. And it’s only by stepping back, and then further back, and holding still, that we can begin to see what the canvas means and to catch the larger picture. And a few people do that for us by going nowhere.”
“So, in an age of acceleration, nothing can be more exhilarating than going slow. And in an age of distraction, nothing is so luxurious as paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is so urgent as sitting still. So you can go on your next vacation to Paris or Hawaii, or New Orleans; I bet you’ll have a wonderful time. But, if you want to come back home alive and full of fresh hope, in love with the world, I think you might want to try considering going nowhere.”
Pico Iyer
