How do you want to be remembered?

Updated: Dec 9, 2023

Hey Bestie!


We rarely think about what we want to be remembered for. But sometimes, thinking about this question can help us find our purpose. This gives us more clarity in our lives,r values, and the type of person we want to be. Most people need the chance to actually know what they are remembered for. Still, Alfred Nobel, a famous chemist and inventor, had the opportunity to learn what he would be remembered for, and it changed his perspective on how he wanted to continue the rest of his life.


Alfred Nobel was a renowned chemist and inventor known for inventing dynamite. Unbeknownst to many, he was also a pacifist and a philanthropist who supported causes promoting peace and education. However, his reputation was tarnished when a French newspaper mistakenly published his obituary, calling him the "merchant of death." This label must have profoundly impacted him and prompted him to reconsider his legacy. As a result, he established the Nobel Prizes, which are now awarded for achievements in various fields such as science, literature, and peace.


Alfred's refusal to let a single incident define him led him to take a brave step and reshape his narrative. He decided to impact the world positively and founded the Nobel Prize, a remarkable testament to his commitment to contributing to society. His actions demonstrate the power we all possess to shape our stories and leave behind a legacy worth remembering.


Take a moment to reflect on your own life. What do you want to be remembered for? Does your public persona align with your personal and spiritual character? This introspection is a profound journey of self-discovery, and it's okay if the answers do not come immediately.


As you ponder the legacy you want to leave behind, remember that your story is still in the making. What do you want to be known for? Take a moment to reflect on this question, and don't rush the answers. Just like Alfred Nobel, we all have the power to reshape our narratives and leave a lasting impact. Your journey of self-discovery is worth every step, and who knows, you might uncover something extraordinary about yourself along the way.


xoxo,
