The Final Scoreboard

The Paradox of a Mortal Mind

When the clock hits zero—what will the scoreboard say?


Not your salary.

Not your follower count.

Not how many emails you replied to or how many tasks you checked off.

But the real scoreboard.

The one that tracks love. Impact. Integrity.

The one that only you and time truly see.


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


Legacy isn’t something we leave behind when we die.

It’s something we build—while we live.

You don’t have to be famous to leave a mark.

You just have to live in a way that means something.

To someone.


To the child who sees how you listen.

To the friend who remembers your kindness.

To the stranger who’s better because you were brave.

That’s the scoreboard that counts.

Not perfect stats—but meaningful ones.

The ones built on presence, on character, on courage.


What will your life’s scoreboard show?

Are you living in alignment with what you want to be remembered for?


This Week’s Action: Choose Your Legacy—Then Live It:


Write down 3 things you’d want to be remembered for. 

Then choose one—and start living it today.

Legacy doesn’t start later. It starts now.



When it’s all said and done, people won’t remember how fast you ran…

They’ll remember why you ran, who you ran for and what you left behind.
