I don’t think much about legacy. Yours, mine, anyone’s really.

Do the best you can right now. For now. Not for later. If it’s useful later, great. But that’s only because it starts out useful now.

Legacy isn’t an artist who was ignored all their life until they died. That’s just recognition and fame. Their work was already excellent then.

Legacy? Who’s going to remember anyway?

Do you remember the names of your great, great, great grandparents? What’s their legacy? You. You are the most important thing to you, and they’re essential to your existence. Yet you probably have no idea who they were. That’s just a few generations ago.

You can’t remember your ancestors a few clicks back, and you think anyone’s going to remember your work a few clicks forward?

Maybe, but only if it’s good today.

Later forgets most of it. Eventually, all of it.

What you do today, and how you do it, is what’s worth remembering.

Legacy isn’t a monument, it’s just that moment on repeat.
