While waiting for the El today, I was asked, "What do you want people to remember you for?"...didn't have an answer.

I think I was put on the spot a bit, but the fact that I didn't know made me realize I'm floating through a low-key existence.

The conversation went on and revealed that I'm a spectator of life. I enjoy looking at what other people are doing with their life and their contributions to the world. My goals revolve around being a good person and being financially stable. I'm a worker bee I suppose. I'm happiest when I'm working and making an impact on people's lives. Now, I'm not out to please the masses and get recognized. I'm more for making a positive impact on my family, friends, and students. This means I'll be forgotten within 5 years of death, but that doesn't really matter to me. If I can be a positive influence on someone right now, that's what I find important.

I guess not all people are like that. Some people want to be remembered for something. Art, power, riches, talent, etc. Which brings me to the questions. This sort of reminds me of an assignment I had in high school where we had to write our obituary, but...

~Are you a contributor or a spectator?
~What are your goals and ambitions?
~Do you want to be remembered for something after you're dead?


**I'm not talking about dreams, that can be another thread. I have many dreams that I know won't come true because of reality or fear.**
