Leaving a legacy by envisioning your future-self is a powerful way to change your life.
I remember creating my first legacy plan after completing a visualization exercise where I saw my last day on this earth in vivid detail.
I was an old lady, with long gray hair. Lying comfortably on a big soft bed. The room was lit softly, and beside my bed were a few medical devices.
In the room was a collection of all of my favorite belongings. Memories and items of sentiment, that reminded me of the people I had loved, and the treasured experiences of my life.
I knew my family had gathered in the next room, because my death was imminent. I could sense their presence.
A great-great-grandson quietly entered the room, comfortably sitting on the end of my bed with discernable fondness.
He came to share a funny joke with me. His eyes danced with delight in the sharing, because he knew this joke was going to make me laugh.
And I did.
A full belly laugh, with tears in my eyes from the ache. His mission was accomplished, with that, he placed a warm kiss on my forehead and left the room.
Can you remember a time where you laughed so much you cried?
As you might have experienced yourself, after a full belly laugh, I took a big satisfied breath.
Exhaling the breath with satisfaction, and with a contented smile, I took what I knew was my last breath.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could all die peacefully in our sleep after a full belly laugh?
Sometimes it’s best to start with the end in mind.
Are you looking to make an enduring impact on the world, to leave behind a legacy that resonates through the ages?
Imagine being able to shape a narrative that extends far beyond your years, touching lives, communities, and the future.
Some 44% of people born between 1967 and 1996 are planning to leave a gift to charity in their will, according to a new survey. Which means there is a huge opportunity for charities to build relationships with people aged 26-55 to secure their support.
Your legacy is not just a gift of money to those who come after you—it’s a way to immortalize your values, passions, and aspirations.
From a simple visualization exercise, I was able to figure out what I valued, what I was passionate about, and what experiences I aspired to create in my lifetime.
From capturing the vision, it was a simple exercise to reverse engineer everything I experienced from there, looking at the assumptions I could make from what I had witnessed.
Considering I was old and gray-haired, I knew longevity was a factor. The medical intervention in the room was minimal. And I felt comfortable. So I knew health had been one of my priorities.
I did not want for anything in that space, it was my own room with my own belongings. So I knew wealth had been one of my priorities. I had access to a level of care, and I felt very well taken care of in those last moments. I was not in pain. And I was not afraid. I knew I was able to afford decent end of life care.
The fact that my family was present, including great-great-grandchildren, I knew I had prioritized relationships.
And the fact my great-great-grandson came to share a joke, knowing I would laugh, meant he knew me well and I had maintained a good sense of humor. Which meant I still had the mental faculties and wherewithal to understand and enjoy a clever joke. So I had prioritized my mental, emotional and social health.
From here it was easy to see where I wanted my life to end.
With this insight and inspiration, I created the first draft of my beautiful life plan, a long-term plan where I invited myself to look at where I would like to be in 5, 10, 15 and 30 years.

My Inspiration
Have you ever considered the works that have stood the test of time?
In a world of cheap dopamine, and short-term focus it’s easy to be shallow-minded consumers.
It’s also easy to fall into the trap of being a mindless critic. And as Brene Brown writes, the world doesn’t need more critics. Her story of the man in the arena, is an inspirational tale of being one of the few willing to get in the arena and get down and dirty and stand for something. Setting yourself apart from the droves of the cynical masses.
In a world of “write a best-selling novel in a weekend”, where frequency and quantity is mistaken for quality, and AI gives rise to mass-produced, regurgitated ideas – this isn’t about quick, easy, or cheap.
I remember being blown away upon learning certain works of literary art were written centuries ago, and still featured on the best-seller lists today. Not only do the ideas remain inspirational, but the work itself has been preserved and passed-down and can still be purchased today.
Hundreds of years after it was written.
I’m not impressed if you can write a best-seller in a weekend. I am impressed if you can write a piece of literature that is still read and enjoyed centuries after it was written.
That’s a prospect that fills me with nervous excitement. The “game on” signal to my mind, body and soul. Lighting up my brain like a Christmas tree because of the sheer effort it would take.
This is a completely different kettle of fish that inspires me deeply.
Unfortunately, I’m not sure that I have the talent of writing anything that enduring. But if I can inspire the next Marcus Aurelias to write something that lasts and survives thousands of years, this will make me very happy indeed.
In a world where the footprints we leave behind define our existence long after we’re gone, the concept of legacy holds a profound significance.
Crafting a legacy isn’t just about etching a name in history; it’s about the impact, values, and stories we impart upon the world.
We embark on a journey to explore the intricate steps that go into leaving an enduring legacy.
Through a comprehensive guide, we will unveil the elements, strategies, and the art of shaping a legacy that extends far beyond our time.
Let’s delve into this tutorial on how to shape and nurture a legacy that resonates through generations.
Step 1 – Vision Quest: Define Your Legacy
Vision doesn’t eliminate distraction. It inspires us to focus on what matters.
Vision provides clarity for the future while directing us to place our attention in the present.
As Steven Covey wrote in his best-selling classic 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, “Begin with the end in mind.”
And it was this exact concept that inspired my end of life visualization.
The indigenous practice of a vision quest, traditionally a profound and introspective rite, holds timeless wisdom that can be adapted and simplified for modern implementation.
While honoring the fundamental essence of self-reflection and connection to nature, modernizing this practice allows for a more accessible and practical approach in today’s fast-paced world.
By focusing on simplicity and adaptability, individuals can still delve into their inner selves, drawing inspiration from the age-old traditions, yet tailoring the experience to fit within the complexities and demands of modern life.
This approach encourages a meaningful quest for purpose and self-discovery, promoting a balance between ancient wisdom and the practicalities of contemporary living.
Step 1: Reflect on Core Values
Setting the Scene: Start in a quiet, reflective space. Begin by sitting comfortably, closing your eyes, and taking a few deep breaths to center yourself. Have a journal or notepad ready to record your thoughts.
Exploring Values: Visualize moments in your life when you felt the most fulfilled, happy, or proud. Identify the values inherent in these moments. Consider questions like: What do you stand for? What principles guide your decisions? Jot down the key values that surface.
Step 2: Envision Your Impact
Visualization Exercise: Imagine a future scenario where you’ve made a substantial impact on the world. Picture how it looks, feels, and the emotions it invokes. The emotions reveal your passions for what you envision. In a holistic plan for your life, it’s helpful to get your feelings involved, to help you discover what you really stand for. Think about the change you’ve brought and the legacy you’ve left.
Journaling Your Vision: Open your eyes and start writing about the envisioned impact. Describe the world you wish to leave behind and the specific ways you’ve influenced it. Write freely and vividly to capture the essence of your desired legacy.
Step 3: Setting Clear Objectives
Defining Tangible Goals: Review what you’ve written and extract specific objectives that align with your envisioned legacy. These could be personal accomplishments, community contributions, or changes in a particular field.
SMART Goals: Formulate these objectives using the SMART criteria – Specific, Measurable, Assignable, Relevant, and Time-related. For instance, instead of stating “Make a difference in the community,” refine it to “Start a mentoring program for underprivileged youth by the end of the year.”
Recording Commitment: Summarize your defined objectives in a clear, actionable statement. Say it out loud as if affirming your commitment to these goals. Write this statement in your journal as a personal commitment to your envisioned legacy.
“Think & Grow Rich” read it daily. Act without delay.
“Awaken the Giant” take action in the next 24 hours.
Step 2 – Path Alignment: Align Actions with Standards and Values
Step 1: Identifying Core Values
Setting the Scene: Begin by finding a calm and private space for reflection. Ensure the environment is free from distractions, providing a space for undisturbed contemplation.
Core Values Identification: Sit comfortably and engage in a self-reflective exercise. Explore the core values that guide your life, driving your decisions and actions. Consider aspects such as integrity, compassion, growth, or any other values you hold dear. Use prompts or questions to delve deeper into what truly matters to you. Imagine what someone would say about you at your funeral. Ask, How do I want to be remembered? Reflect on how you want to be known?
Journaling Your Values: Open your journal or notepad and write down the identified core values. Reflect on why these personal standards and principles are important to you and how they reflect in your actions and choices.
Step 2: Assessing Current Actions
Reviewing Daily Actions: Record a typical day’s activities with a time audit. Use a visual or written representation of your routine to highlight how your time is spent. This could be a written list, a visual timeline, or another method that best conveys your day’s activities.
Value-Action Alignment: Compare your identified core values with the activities documented. Evaluate how well your actions align with these values. Notice any discrepancies or areas where actions diverge from your core principles.
Noting Inconsistencies: Document areas where your actions don’t reflect your identified values. These can serve as starting points for realignment and adjustment.
Step 3: Implementing Alignment
Setting Priorities: Choose the most significant values from your list. Prioritize these values to focus on aligning your actions accordingly.
Action Realignment Plan: Brainstorm actionable steps to adjust your daily routine. Step out the routine as a visualization to ensure you are working with reality. Consider practical changes that can bring your actions in line with your core values. These could involve allocating time for activities reflecting these values or phasing out activities incongruent with them.
Regular Self-Assessment: Schedule periodic reviews to assess the progress. Use the same methods (journaling, visual representations) to track your alignment progress. Consider an accountability partner or professional help if you are finding it hard to adopt your desired changes. Celebrate successes and adjust strategies for any areas needing improvement.
Step 3 – Your Envisioned Impact: Engage in Purposeful Activities
As a Star Wars fan, I love when Luke says “This R2 Unit has a bad motivator” and his Uncle says “Hey! What are you trying to push on us”. I always think of this when I’m thinking about my motives. And if you know the movies, you’ll understand that a bad motive makes a robot’s head explode.
Step 1: This R2 Unit Has a Bad Motivator
Reflect on Your Motives: Choose a calm, distraction-free environment for contemplation. Sit comfortably, close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths to center yourself.
Write a List of Reasons: Visualize a future scenario where you’ve made a significant impact. Imagine the specific changes you’ve brought, the people you’ve influenced, and the legacy you’ve left behind. Provide an explanation on why you sought to make the impact you did. What inspired you to do what you did. What was the intention and purpose that drove your actions? See it vividly, including emotions and reactions from others.
Journal Your Envisioned Impact: Open your journal and describe in detail the envisioned impact. Write about the specific actions and changes that align with your vision. Ensure clarity and detail in your descriptions.
Step 2: Your Map of Destiny
Values-Driven Action Plan: A map of destiny is one of three maps that can be helpful in deepening your conscious awareness of your soul-purpose. Review your identified core values and how they relate to your envisioned impact. Based on the personal attributes you seek to embody, brainstorm actionable steps or initiatives that align the vision of your future-self with your present reality. For each value, list practical activities or projects that could contribute to making your defined characteristics come to life, for your desired impact.
Creating a Roadmap: Use a visual aid, like a mind map, a flowchart, or a vision board to organize the identified actions. This visual representation can outline the sequence of steps, dependencies, and the relationship between different activities.
Detailing Action Items: Write a detailed project plan with specific tasks and deadlines. Clearly define the actionable steps, including smaller tasks that contribute to the larger objectives, and allocate realistic timeframes for completion.
Step 3: Initiating Purposeful Actions
Initiation Ritual: Depending on your personality, you will have strengths in creating a vision or working out the step-by-step process or system. Either way, you will need a good initiation sequence. A trigger to start the routine or process. Start by selecting the first actionable step you’ve outlined. Begin with a symbolic initiation, marking the commencement of purposeful actions toward your envisioned impact.
Filming Action Implementation: Prepare with a visualization. Imagine a film crew is recording the initiation of the first step and the subsequent implementation of the actionable plan. Clearly demonstrate each action, highlighting the process and the intent behind it. The first creation of your imagination is a powerful practice for priming you for action.
Continuous Assessment and Adaptation: Regularly assess the progress made in implementing these actions. Evaluate whether they are aligning with your envisioned impact. Make adaptations or modifications as necessary, ensuring ongoing alignment with your compelling vision.
Step 4: Blueprint Mastery – Leveraging Your Legacy
Step 1: Leveraged Activities
Vision and Objectives Clarification: Begin by revisiting your envisioned impact and the actionable steps. Ensure a clear understanding of the long-term vision and objectives.
Identify the Leveraged Activities: Sometimes the most important task or milestone is a simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. A small task that could reap great rewards becomes your priority. Identify the most leveraged activities of your purposeful actions, and prioritize their completion.
Actionable Planning: Design a comprehensive action plan outlining the necessary steps, resources required, and deadlines. Create a structured roadmap or timeline to visualize the sequence of tasks.
Step 2: Resource and Task Allocation
Resource Identification: Identify the resources needed for each planned action. This could include time, finances, skills, tools, or human resources. Allocate resources according to the importance and impact of each task.
Task Delegation and Division: Delegate tasks if necessary. Break down larger tasks into smaller, manageable sub-tasks and assign responsibilities to individuals or teams. Ensure each task contributes directly to the broader objectives.
Timeline and Scheduling: Develop a clear timeline for each task or milestone. Use visual aids like Gantt charts or project management tools to organize and schedule activities, ensuring accountability and progress tracking.
Step 3: Execution and Monitoring
Initiating Implementation: Begin executing the planned actions according to the established timeline. Clearly document the initiation of each task, highlighting the purpose and intent behind it. If you’re having trouble initiating or triggering the strategy, use 2 minute goals to get started and create momentum.
Document Progress and Milestones: Continuously record the progress of each task or milestone to continue making progress and utilize the accountability and support of your social network. Showcase key achievements and important stages of the project, emphasizing the impact of each milestone toward the overall legacy vision. This is a good way to enroll people in your project and vision and inspire their contribution and involvement.
Continuous Monitoring and Adaptation: Regularly review the progress against the set timeline and goals. Adapt the plan if necessary, considering unforeseen challenges or opportunities. Emphasize the importance of flexibility in achieving the desired legacy.
Step 5: Impact Evaluation – Measure and Reflect on Your Footprint
Step 1: Data Collection and Analysis
Identifying Key Metrics: What would indicate to you the successful completion of a task or milestone and your project? Define the specific metrics or indicators that will help measure the impact of your actions. This could include quantitative data (such as numbers of beneficiaries reached, funds raised, etc.) and qualitative information (like feedback, stories, or qualitative assessments).
Data Gathering Process: How will you collect relevant data? Consider how you will gather information or evidence to support the defined metrics. This might involve surveys, interviews, observations, or collecting records and statistics.
Data Analysis and Interpretation: Collecting the data is not as important as being curious about what makes the data useful. Demonstrate the process of analyzing the collected data. So what? You have a spreadsheet of numbers. What makes the number go up and down? Show how you interpret the information, focusing on both quantitative and qualitative findings to derive insights into the impact of your actions.
Step 2: Reflective Assessment
Reflective Review: Film the process of reviewing the analyzed data. Showcase your reflection on the impact and outcomes of your actions. This step involves looking back at the initial vision and goals, and then comparing them with the actual results.
Highlighting Successes and Challenges: Emphasize key successes and challenges encountered during the execution. Illustrate how these successes align with the envisioned impact and how challenges influenced the outcomes.
Lessons Learned and Adjustments: Extract lessons from the evaluation. Highlight how these insights are translated into adjustments or modifications in the approach for better future impact. This might involve adapting strategies, improving methodologies, or addressing shortcomings. Incorporate in your plan to learn what you need.
Step 3: Reporting and Communication
Presentation of Findings: Go through the process of presenting the evaluation findings. It could be in a white paper, industry or trend report. Highlight your assessment outcomes into a report or presentation, using visual aids and storytelling to communicate the impact effectively.
Action Planning Based on Evaluation: Showcase how you develop action plans or strategies based on the evaluation results. Demonstrate the process of setting new goals or refining the existing ones to better align with your legacy vision. Embody the scientist to prove your hypothesis or continue the experiment. Become the true expert and authority figure and separate yourself from all the posers and wannabes.
Continuous Improvement Commitment: Emphasize the commitment to continuous improvement. Encourage the audience to embrace a culture of ongoing feedback and evaluation, learning, and adaptation to ensure a lasting and evolving impact.
Step 6: Resilience Training – Trials, Changes & Challenges
Step 1: Anticipating and Preparing for Challenges
Identifying Potential Challenges: Do you know someone who is really cynical and good at criticizing and identifying potential challenges? Ask them to read over your plans and identify the worst that could happen. These black hat partners can help you prepare and make changes before any challenges arise in the pursuit of your legacy. Encourage brainstorming and envisioning various scenarios that could impact your plans.
Developing Contingency Plans: Create contingency or backup plans for each identified challenge. Highlight the strategy and alternatives that you would implement if faced with a crisis or challenge. Emphasize flexibility and adaptability in these plans.
Building Support Networks: Commit to outreach and networking to enrich your support networks. Film interactions with mentors, advisors, or peers who provide guidance or support during challenging times. Showcase the importance of seeking advice and building a supportive community and help normalize togetherness – no man or woman is self made.
Step 2: Navigating Challenges and Changes
Implementation of Contingency Plans: Communicate your contingency plans so that when faced with challenges or changes, people know how to proceed responsibly and adapt responsively and without delay . Know how the contingency plans are put into action and who takes care of each part of the process.
Problem-Solving and Adaptation: Follow a creative problem-solving method to address challenges, identify problems, and adapt accordingly. Emphasize the iterative nature of problem-solving and adaptation in real-time situations.
Mindset and Resilience Building: Learn about and cultivate personal resilience to help you rally during challenging times. Follow a process to maintain a positive attitude, learn from setbacks, and persist in the face of difficulties. Understand the importance of resilience in overcoming obstacles.
Step 3: Learning and Growth from Challenges
Review and Analysis: Review the challenges faced and actions taken through a 4L’s Introspective. This reflection and analysis of both positive and negative, of the implemented strategies informs the iterative and adaptive process of overcoming challenges and highlights the key learnings you have acquired as a natural course of pursuing big aims.
Extracting Lessons Learned: Journal the extracted lessons and insights from these challenges. Write what you have learned and how you identified the learnings. Translate the insight into strategies for future resilience and better response to similar challenges.
Sharing Experiences and Insights: Share the experiences and insights gained from challenges. Show how you learnt a valuable lesson with your support network or a broader audience, highlighting the value of learning from setbacks.
Step 7: Nurture and Guide – Mentor and Inspire Your Successors
Step 1: Self-Preparation and Introspection
Self-Assessment: Begin by evaluating your own skills, experiences, and knowledge that you can offer as a mentor. Film a self-assessment process that highlights your strengths, areas of expertise, and experiences that could benefit others.
Identifying Mentoring Goals: Showcase the process of setting clear goals for mentoring. What is going to happen to your project once you are long-gone? Define what you aim to achieve as a mentor and the impact you wish to have on the individuals you’ll guide. Emphasize the importance of aligning your goals with the mentees’ needs.
Refining Communication and Listening Skills: Demonstrate effective communication and active listening techniques. Showcase scenarios where you engage in conversations, actively listen to others, and communicate empathetically, clearly and assertively.
Step 2: Mentoring and Guidance
Establishing Mentorship Relationships: Plan the process of initiating mentorship relationships. Show how you connect with mentees, initiate conversations, and establish a rapport. Illustrate the building of trust and a supportive relationship.
Tailoring Guidance to Individual Needs: Showcase the individualized approach to mentoring. Highlight how you tailor guidance and support according to each mentee’s unique goals, strengths, and areas for development. Demonstrate personalized strategies for each mentee.
Empowering Through Knowledge Sharing: Record your knowledge. Arrange sharing sessions and document and impart your expertise and insights. Show the exchange of knowledge, guidance, and experiences, focusing on empowering mentees to grow and make informed decisions.
Step 3: Reflection and Continuous Improvement
Regular Feedback and Assessment: Document the process of giving and receiving feedback. Show how you provide constructive feedback to mentees and receive feedback on your mentoring approach. Highlight the importance of regular assessment.
Reflective Review and Adaptation: Showcase the process of reflecting on the mentoring experience. Demonstrate how you review the impact of your guidance, identify strengths and areas for improvement, and adapt your mentoring strategies accordingly.
Encouraging Self-Sufficiency: Emphasize the transition towards fostering independence in mentees. Illustrate how you encourage them to develop self-sufficiency by honing their skills, decision-making abilities, and self-guided learning.
What Is a Legacy?
A legacy encapsulates the lasting impact, influence, or imprint an individual leaves on the world. It represents the culmination of their actions, values, contributions, and the imprint they make on people, communities, or future generations.
A legacy extends beyond the individual’s existence, shaping beliefs, inspiring change, and leaving a mark that endures over time, reflecting their values and the significance of their contributions to society.
While the outlined steps provide a comprehensive guide on leaving a lasting legacy, there are a few additional insights essential to the process.
One crucial aspect is the significance of adaptability. Life is ever-evolving, and the ability to adapt to change is vital in ensuring your legacy remains relevant and impactful. Being open to adjustments, learning from challenges, and tweaking strategies based on new insights and circumstances is integral to sustaining a meaningful legacy.
Furthermore, embracing a growth mindset is paramount. View setbacks not as failures but as opportunities for growth and learning. Resilience and perseverance are forged through facing challenges, and these experiences contribute significantly to personal and legacy development.
Embracing a mindset of continual improvement and using setbacks as learning opportunities fuels the journey toward a more impactful and robust legacy.
Lastly, the power of collaboration and community shouldn’t be underestimated.
Building a network of like-minded individuals, sharing experiences, and learning from others’ insights enriches the process of leaving a legacy.
Engaging in collaborative efforts, seeking guidance, and sharing knowledge fosters a collective approach to creating a lasting impact, magnifying the influence and breadth of the legacy being forged.
Despite the advances of modern science and medicine, as far as we know, no-one is able to live forever (yet).
