Entrepreneur, author, and co-founder of Empathy Wines and VaynerX, Gary Vaynerchuk urges his followers to: “Please think about your legacy because you are writing it every day.”
- Gary Vaynerchuk

As you rise reborn from each of your failures, you will be given a new opportunity to shape your legacy many times. With each new reinvention, you can take the pen and lay fresh new ink on the story of your life that will convert you someday into your legacy. Plan now to think about this before Failure Rule #1: Failure Purifies sweeps into your life. Your legacy is too important to waste such fresh opportunities to write strategic plot shifts in your story.

Now, legacy is not important because you might care about preserving the spirit of your ego. Make no mistake: you will get pleasure and satisfaction in consciously thinking about and attempting to immortally codify your legacy, but that’s not why you need to value it.

You need to value your legacy and your effort to try to document or pass it on, for the benefit of others.

When you die, it won’t matter to you—at least on this side of eternity. No, you’ll be on the other side of eternity then. And then is when the benefit can residually live on for others—whether to a tight set of recipients within your family or to a wide swath of inheritors consuming what you leave behind through publicly available expressive output. Because a rightly cultivated and preserved legacy of value is a deliberate release of control.

You are just a conduit funneling what lasting value you’ve gained from life to future beneficiaries. The value you pass on then becomes a force multiplier of wisdom, knowledge, and a well-lived example.

We are often attracted to art—be it music, books, visual arts, film, audio, or other—when the content, delivery, and visceral contours of the art reveals an authentic story replete with not only the thrill of living but also the intrinsic agony of walking through the hard failure valleys of life. When Failure Rule #1 is in play, failure often purifies us down to a state that compels us, in the end, to tell our failure story.
