What do I want to be remembered for?

On the Creative Writing Prompts site, one of the prompts was the question "What do I want to be remembered for?" Great question for an insightful journey. The answer to this question will always tell you what you truly value in life.A couple of things popped into my mind right away:

1. Being positive. I definitely want to be remembered as being a positive person; always finding the silver lining and always looking for the opportunity and blessing in every difficulty. Unfortunately, I fall far short of this ideal so I have some work to do if I truly want to achieve this persona.

2. Helping Others. So many people have helped me selflessly that I feel as though I can never fully repay them. Nor can I repay the world for all the goodness I have seen out there. I try to go out of my way to help people; both friends and strangers.

3. Leader. It never fails. No matter where I go or what I end up getting involved in, I end up in a leadership position, sometimes involuntarily. True leaders know how to both lead and follow, speak and listen, give and take. I want to be a person who has true balance in life. Someone who doesn't just talk about it, but actually live it on an everyday basis.
