Thought-provoking saying…Hmmm. So, attempts to save our own lives are doomed to a sad kind of failure. Choosing to give of ourselves, even to give our lives, now that will work out a bit better, but if our motive remains self-centered, not so much….A life well-spent, a life well-lived demands no reward. No guarantee. No legacy as evidence….okay, enough thinking out loud…
I agree, Rita, and so, I think, would Mr. James. Building a “legacy,” at least as the term is typically used, is a narrow, self-centered goal, more focused on being remembered than doing something of real value.

Wow beautiful photo. Love that quote as well (◡‿◡✿)
Love this!
Amen!!
The picture that accompanies the quote would seem to indicate the author (speaker) was thinking of environmental issues. As an ex-teacher, I see this as a call to invest time and resources in our children
I added the picture (James wrote in the 19th century), but I certainly don’t disagree with you conclusion, Bob.
That is the secret of true wealth. Many focus on money , only a few focus on what is already inside them.
It’s what lets the world know that you passed by even after all who knew you die
Today has opened the philosophical John. Today I choose “time”. Great advice to all, Mitch.
I love this quote. Great post.
Like planting trees… Nice post and sentiment. Thank you.
