I am interested as to what kind of impression people want to leave on the world when they are gone. I have pondered this thought a few times, and there are several different aspects of life in which I would like to be remembered or leave some kind of impression on, but I don't want to state what mine are right now because I don't want to influence what anyone else has to say. I am excited to see what kind of response I get on this discussion. Maybe you just don't really care and don't want to leave any kind of impression for anyone..so share that too. Thanks in advance for any responses. I hope everyone has a great weekend. =)

I hope that when my time on this earth is over I leave having made a differnece in the lives of people I both know and don't know. I hope to have been a good steward of the planet and also of the friends and family I have been blessed with. In my daily life I try to be a generous, kind individual that is a good listener and also an active participant in life in general. Although I am not a rich person monetarily and I haven't contributed to any great discovery or invention, there will still be a small "footprint" from my stay here and I would hope it to be an impression of goodness and light, of willingness and trust, of giving back and paying forward. I am certainly no saint but feel I have over all been a decent human being with a love for mankind in general and a lot of hope for the future generations. Hopefully my final act as a member of this human race will be the gift of life to someone in the form of organ donation.

Thank you for BR..and for your kind words. We are all given a short time to walk among each other and make a difference...if we each help one person in some small way, think what a better world we would leave...Peace...

Wow, very good response. You certainly show that you are not a selfish person and put others before yourself (don't forget about yourself sometimes) I know people who do that..my mom tells me I do that sometimes. Anyhow, I am sure you will leave a great impression on many peoples lives...good for you. Be blessed! Thanks for the response, have a great day/night.
