What do you think of when the concept of “legacy” comes to mind?

Take a minute.

Now that you have taken time to gather your thoughts on this concept, have you ever considered your own legacy? Deep question, right? But it’s actually simpler than it seems! First, let’s explore the term “legacy”.

Some people may associate the concept of legacy with death. This is understandable considering many times we speak of a person’s legacy in the past tense, or as something they left behind. Legacy can be defined as money or material items left for someone. The Cambridge Dictionary lists one of their definitions of legacy as, “something that is part of our history.” While this is true, it is important to note that our legacy is also part of our present. It is something that we are building every day.
