Don't Be A Martyr

Some people want to be remembered, be it for or their accomplishments, their personality, or other personal affects. There's nothing wrong with that inherently, but being remembered is pointless if you won't be there to experience it.

When you're dead, you won't be able to benefit from the fruits of your labor. You won't be in the room at your funeral where everyone commemorates your life. Why worry about something you can't enjoy?

It's better to want to be memorable now. Make people acknowledge you and your talents in the present. Be the person you want to be remembered as while you can reap the rewards-- it's pointless otherwise.

Don't just tell people how incredible you are, show them with actions that can't be interpreted in the wrong way words can.

Beyond your talents, being a source of positivity and hope is also a great way to get people thinking about you. If you're a miserable person, it will be no wonder why no one wants to remember you now, and when you're gone people will only think of how nice it is you aren't moping around anymore.

Become irreplaceable, then you truly will never be forgotten.
