What I want to be remembered for

Good morning,

So I had the thought of “if I should die today” what would I like to be remembered for? As there is a health challenge and this was a very real thought I had. 

Anyway, I came up with a few things. It may not be that inspirational, but I believe we should all aspire to this. This is all very personal.

If I should die today…

I don’t wanna be remembered for what I did, but rather what I dared to do

I don’t want to be remembered for who I loved, but rather that I was never afraid to fall in love

I don’t want to be remembered for the dreams I realised, but rather for having the courage to dream

I don’t want to be remembered for the money I had, but rather for how much I gave away

I don’t want to be remembered for the times I succeeded, but rather remembered for the times I failed and never gave up

I don’t want to be remembered for how far I traveled, but rather for how I began that journey

I don’t want to be remembered for how difficult it all was but rather for the truth that I followed my heart

I don’t want to be remembered for what I stood for, but rather that I stood for something

I don’t want to be remembered for how many times I was rejected or hurt, but rather for the times I dared to say, I love you

I don’t want to be remembered for the times I was said yes too, but rather the times I was told no, and made it happen.

I don’t want to be remembered for the books I wrote, but rather for the hearts I touched.

I don’t want to be remembered for being a human being, but for being a legend.

Love,
H
