What impact are you leaving behind?

At the end of our lives, everything we’ve built—possessions, achievements, routines—will either turn to ashes or live on as impact.

Ashes fade, scattered by time.

Impact endures, woven into the lives we’ve touched, the love we’ve given, the seeds we’ve planted.

The truth is, our legacy isn’t written in stone monuments or bank accounts—it’s written in the hearts of people we’ve influenced and in the small, quiet ways we’ve made the world a little better.

Here’s the truth we’re taught to avoid: 

We’re conditioned to chase recognition, wealth, or status, as though those things will define us when we’re gone.

But in the end, the world won’t remember how many emails you answered or how impressive your résumé looked.

It will remember how you made others feel, what you stood for, and the courage you showed in giving when you could have taken.

Mortality strips away the illusion—impact, not accumulation, is what lasts.

“Ashes are inevitable, but impact is a choice. Our lives burn quickly, yet in the brief flame we carry, we hold the power to light candles in others—candles that will keep burning long after our flame has gone.”

This Week’s Action: 

Contribute to something bigger than yourself today.

It doesn’t need to be grand—call someone who feels forgotten, volunteer your time, share knowledge freely, or simply offer kindness with no expectation of return.

Choose impact over ashes.
