How Will You Be Remembered?
Reflections on Building Bridges, Standing Tall, and Living True to Your Values
“Did you stand or did you fall?
Build a bridge or build a wall?
Hide your love or give it all?
What did you do?
What did you do?
Did you make 'em laugh or make 'em cry?
Did you quit or did you try?
Live your dreams or let 'em die?"
These lyrics from Rascal Flatts' "How They Remember You" struck a chord with me today. I’ve always been mindful about what I listen to, knowing how much our input influences our mindset and actions. My playlist may be small, but the messages I choose to hear are big.
These words resonate deeply with something I’m personally navigating right now, but they also ask a question we all face:
💠What kind of legacy am I building?
Walking this path isn’t easy—life rarely is. The storms we face can feel overwhelming, and the choices we make often define who we become.
As I reflect on these lyrics and this stormy trail, I’m reminded of a truth I hold close: I choose to stand tall, even when the sky feels heavy and the way forward is uncertain.
Whether you're in a leadership position, guiding a team, leading by example for those around you, or simply navigating your own personal journey, this choice matters.
Are you building bridges in your relationships, or are you letting walls take their place?
When life gets tough, do you stand tall, or do you fall?
Are you making choices to live your dreams, or are you letting them fade?
The truth is, the choices we make every day—not just the big, defining moments—shape how we’ll be remembered. So ask yourself:
✨ Are you choosing courage over comfort?
✨ Are you showing up as the leader, friend, or colleague you’d want to have?
✨ Are you living a life true to your values and dreams, or letting them slip away?
We all leave a legacy. The question isn’t “if”—it’s how.
So today, I want to encourage you to pause and reflect: What will people remember about you?
Not just at work, but in every part of your life because it’s the little moments, the small choices, and the way we show up daily that define us.
💠How will you be remembered?
