"one of the easiest ways to be reminded about what’s important is to consider the end."

"If you were to fast-forward to the end, which of the things would become irrelevant? What’s left when you strip away the things that don’t really matter? What’s left is people. Not things."

"“Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.”"

"The true impact of our lives shows up in their values—how they live their lives."

"Life must be lived forward. And I think “live a legacy” gets at the idea of living now with the long-term in view."

"Legacy is what we put in motion for the future."

"Do we instill in our children and grandchildren a set of values they can live by and, in turn, build into future generations?"

"We influence people every day by what we say and do, by what we write, create and share. And all of that influence adds up."

"In truth, we are always part of bigger narrative."
