Good Things Or Bad Things

There are two types of memories that people will remember the best. They will either remember the good things that happened to them or the bad things that happened to them, rarely ever things in the middle that were meh. This is something my father taught me when he was teaching me some life lessons. This may seem like a small thing but it goes a long way when trying to build relationships and true friendships.

I totally agree with the statement of remembering the good and bad things. I also think most people would agree with this. If they look back and reflect on their life they could easily see that it's true for the most part. For example if I look back at my life, I remember clearly about being bullied when I was younger, getting my first job, winning my first soccer tournament, getting lied to and many more.

(I took this photo today just for this post. I actually got a haircut today. Anyways It's me thinking what I want to be remembered for.)

This leads me to the big question. What do I want to be remembered for? It took me a while to gather my thoughts but it goes back to what I said earlier. There are two general choices here and it's for the good things or for the bad things. Personally, I would want to be remembered for the good things.

To break it down and be more specific, I would want to be remembered for positively impacting someone's life. For example, this could be helping someone through their dark times. It could be as simple as being a great supportive friend like I was always there for them and gave them my opinion on things when they asked me for help or advice.

Furthermore, I'm a huge advocate for helping those that are less fortunate. Hopefully in the future, I'm able to do something great that can help those that are homeless, facing hunger, etc; something that is beyond just volunteering. To be fair, there's a lot of people in society that would ignore these types of people without fully understanding that usually it's not their choice to be homeless etc. Things happen and we need to be empathetic and sympathetic about it. I would want to be able to help and change their lives and by doing so hopefully I can be remembered as someone that helped to make the world a better place.

My post this week wasn't that long but it was straightforward and answered this question. What about you? What would you like to be remembered for? Feel free to comment down below.

I hope you all have a great weekend!
