Preserving all of life's stories, values, and memories is extremely important due to unexpected events that bring to light the reality of life's fragility.

What is Legacy?

According to Collins Dictionary, legacy is 'something handed down or received from an ancestor or predecessor'. It's about the richness of an individual's life, including what that person accomplished and the impact they had on people and places. Ultimately, the story of a person's life reflects their legacy.

The Importance of Knowing Your Roots

Have you ever thought about the lives of your grandparents and great-grandparents? Wouldn't it be exciting to discover how your ancestors fought through their lives or how they managed during difficult times?

It may not be very surprising if we don't know even the names of our great-grandparents. According to a survey conducted by Ancestry.com, one in three adults couldn't name any of their great-grandparents. However, this knowledge is important as it helps us to know more about where we came from, thus learning more about ourselves.

Creating Your Own Legacy

What legacy did your ancestors pass down to you? What legacy do you want to pass down to your children and grandchildren? Passing on stories and traditions to your descendants not only helps to preserve your legacy, it helps teach some valuable life lessons as well.

As Lionel Richie said:

"I think the whole world is dying to hear someone say, 'I love you.' I think that if I can leave the legacy of love and passion in the world, then I think I've done my job in a world that's getting colder and colder by the day."

Journaling: A Path to Legacy

Regular journaling is an important way to leave your mark behind. A life driven by self-reflection and purpose will result in a legacy to be proud of. Future generations will love being able to see your journaling style and what you left behind.

Great legends like Julius Caesar, Albert Einstein, Marie Curie, Mark Twain, and many others practiced keeping a diary, which in turn offered rich insights into the personal lives of these figures who in their own unique way helped to transform the world.
