What is everybody gonna remember forever?
We want to change the world with our contribution. We want to hold an extra special place in someone’s or everyone’s hearts and minds forever and ever. We want to rise above all others as a person who really made a difference.
But while there isn’t much that people remember forever, our contribution makes a lasting impact…even if it’s not consciously remembered and making a difference.
A good song, a good show, a good party, a good coffee date is remembered for a day or month, and then forgotten. But those bits of goodness change our overall trajectory a tiny bit in a better direction.
So maybe the goal isn’t unforgettable in the long run but rather undeniable in the short run.
