    What makes you think you can’t leave a significant positive legacy?

    You can get involved with your neighbors. Invest in your local community. Adopt an orphan or volunteer at a women’s shelter.

    There’s a million things you can do to make a significant impact. Every person you invest in is another person who can go and invest in others.

    This idea that anything that’s below the national or worldwide level isn’t significant is a cancer on society.

    There are people who lived hundreds of years ago who, sure, you’ll probably have never heard of if you don’t live in the same area as me, but who have had huge impact on the community. The same is true for where you live. I promise you.

    Bring your eyes down, and look to make your legacy local. I promise you it’s possible. And I promise you that it’s significant.
