Funny how we do not realize the true value and legacy of a living icon until they suddenly pass away. Truth is, there are many living legends among us, we just do not stop and take time to notice their worth until it's too late.

Speak with caution. Even if someone forgives harsh words you've spoken, they may be too hurt to ever forget them. Don't leave a legacy of pain and regret of things you never should have said.

If you are in a position where you can reach people, then use your platform to stand up for a cause. HINT: social media is a platform.

Live your life in such a way that you'll be remembered for your kindness, compassion, fairness, character, benevolence, and a force for good who had much respect for life, in general.

My legacy will live on to inspire future generations.

If you're not reaching back to help anyone then you're not building a legacy.

If you are not passionate about what you do, chances are you will not leave a legacy of positive change.

Your life's work determines your legacy and the impact that you have on the world.
