“Legacy is the mortar of life.”
— Gary Vaynerchuk
Simplified Meaning:
A legacy is what you leave behind after you're gone, like memories, values, or achievements. Think of life as a building made of bricks. While actions and experiences are the bricks, the legacy is the mortar that holds them together, giving the whole structure meaning and strength. For example, when someone volunteers often and is remembered for their kindness, that kindness strengthens and supports their family and community long after they're gone. So in our lives, creating a positive legacy means thinking about how our actions today will help others and be remembered tomorrow. By focusing on what we want to leave behind, we build a stronger, more meaningful life.
