It really all boils down to your definition of a life well lived. I could give a crap what other's think about me when I'm gone so I don't think I've ever worried about a legacy or such nonsense, but I do want to make a difference in people's lives in a positive way. I think if you are lucky enough to be blessed with family, friends and physical/financial health, then maybe it is only right to pay it forward. I guess my definition would be that I don't just take without giving back, and I hope I impart that lesson to my kid.
