When we go on short trips we often know exactly what we expect at the end, but when it comes to our lives and careers we’ve seen far too often we shy away from really thinking through where we expect to be at the end and what we hope our legacy will be. So, we wanted to encourage conversations on the topic of legacy and you’ll find highlights from our conversation from some wonderful members of the business and creative community below.

There is a distinct gift creatives have that is unique to the calling and that is creatives have the closest thing to eternal life this side of Heaven. This is because their work will outlive them, it will go on even when their final breaths have been taken and they are no longer a resident of this earth. The question then begs, what work will you leave behind? Will it be something that benefits others for good? My deepest hope is that the work of my hands and heart will be that of light, love, and most of all honor and glory to God that extends to the length and depth that He sees fit. Read more>>

Legacy is such a strong word, and I am a very small grain of sand on a very large beach. The world will forget me in the blink of an eye. The universe in general has no idea I exist. Everything I do will mean nothing in the end. But we CAN create pockets of energy, of experiences, microcosms of beauty in the vast unknown, and even if they don’t matter cosmically, they matter personally. We all mean something to someone, and even if our legacy is invisible, it is enough. We are enough. Read more>>

I hope that people will look at what I have done for Powerline Ultra and my YouTube and Voice Acting and see that it does not take a village to create something you are passionate about. Read more>>

I’ve always been an advocate or individual that believe that life is about finding your purpose or calling. Legacies do matter and that what gives people the reasons to keep going and living, building legacy isn’t just about you and also being unselfish and a service to others in need, if you ain’t got no vision or purpose, you will be lost. I want my legacy to be remembered for being uncommon, a rebel, authentic, unapologetically me, and dismantling traditions that keep us oppressed and bound. I want to be able inspired generations and people to be free and find your purpose, It’s easy to live with failure, but it’s unbearable to live with “what ifs. or What if I had tried this or that?” No way. Get out there and do it. Read more>>

My hopes are that when I am gone, people will have lots of great memories and stories to share. I want my two boys to remember me as an awesome mom. Not just because we had many fun adventures together, but because I always did my best to make sure they felt truly loved and cared for. I modeled the importance of working hard, being kind and thoughtful, and that mistakes are a part of growing up. I want my students to remember me for the lessons I taught them. Not just the curriculum lessons, but important life lessons like F.A.I.L is first attempt in learning, to always be curious about the other side of the story and multiple perspectives, and that kindness is key. I want my family and friends to remember me for my sense of humor and the ways I cared for others. Not just a nice and fun person to be around, but I want to be remembered as a person who could turn one’s day around with a smile or a hug. When I think of the word legacy, it’s quite intimidating, because I am unsure what I will leave behind. But what I do know for certain, is that when others hear my name after I am gone, I want it to inspire a life of learning, service, love, and FUN. Read more>>
