Legacy: What Will You Leave Behind?

One day, the applause will fade. The titles will blur. The bank account will be forgotten. But what you planted in people — that will live on.

Legacy is not built in one big moment. It’s formed in the little things:
The way you speak life into tired hearts.
The way you choose kindness when anger is easier.
The way you forgive, love, and serve — even when it costs you something.

You don’t need a stage or a platform to leave a mark. You just need a heart that cares deeply and a life that reflects purpose over pride.

Today, ask yourself:
Am I building a life that matters beyond me?
Will they remember how I made them feel… how I lifted others when no one else did?

Live now for what will still speak when you’re gone.

“Legacy is not leaving something for people. It’s leaving something in people.” — Peter Strople

We often think legacy begins at the end — something that comes when the spotlight fades or we’ve “done enough.” But what if legacy starts now? What if it’s being formed in the quiet, ordinary days we often overlook?

True legacy isn’t built through power or possessions. It’s woven through the fabric of our relationships — how we make people feel, how we show up in hard seasons, how we choose purpose over pride.

A lasting legacy starts with a heart committed to love. It shows in how we speak to the stranger, how we listen to our children, how we stand for justice, truth, and peace — even when it’s inconvenient.

Legacy means choosing what lasts over what impresses.

Think about this: What do you want people to remember when your name comes up long after you’re gone? Is it your hustle… or your heart? Your achievements… or your impact?

Start today. Plant seeds of encouragement. Invest in people, not just platforms.
And live every day in a way that outlives you.
