\u201cWanting to leave something behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A mark,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a dent,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or an impact in someone else\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And if I\u2019m lucky,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
come to see what this impact looks like before I pass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not often spoken about,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but still,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
for a certain group of people,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this desire is real.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cause you and I don\u2019t want to go unnoticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We don\u2019t want to die having lived an insignificant life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But we don\u2019t want to make an impact for the sole sake of fame, neither.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We want to do it more for the pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of being able to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHere, I made (or found) this. And I thought it could help you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
what if the help you are to provide,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in a few years from now,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is a book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your memoirs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What title would you like to see printed on the cover?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMemoirs of someone who wished she had made something worthwhile of her life\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMemoirs of someone who ended up making something worthwhile of her life, after having stumbled a few times\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s your pick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When thinking of the future,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
by looking into the past,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
there\u2019s this belief that we\u2019ve got to make big decisions to change our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In part,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cause \u201cbold moves\u201d, \u201cbig decisions\u201d and \u201cbig changes\u201d are what you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
me,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and most workers are sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By marketers and influencers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But what growing old teaches anyone is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the sense that, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
big decisions aren\u2019t the ones that have the most impact in our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s the amount of efforts you and I end up putting,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in turning small decisions into reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once we made up our mind about what we (really) want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Like,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
for the title of our memoirs to say what we made of our life,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
after we stumbled a few times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
