Nothing Lasts

Very little of what people create lasts through time and space.

When we die, we are - with a few exceptions - forgotten within three generations.

Your assets get distributed to your heirs or maybe dropped off unceremoniously at Goodwill.

Your business will eventually go under or get bought by a bigger business.

The place you worked replaces you with a younger employee.

You get a brief moment in time to make your impact.

Within days of your funeral, the world moves on.

And this is exactly how it should be.

Learn what you need to learn.

Say what you need to say.

Do what you need to do.

Then you move on.

Nothing lasts.
