PURPOSE of WEALTH (Pt5): LEGACY

hello alexir and welcome back to the final episode of our five-part series on the purpose of wealth we all want our lives to have meaning right to leave behind more than we took and to know that because of us even in the slightest the world is better than we found it the final purpose of wealth is to facilitate your legacy so what is Legacy if not Eternal impact Legacy is when you're silent but your presence is felt it comes from the highest form of impact one could ever have the thing is though you don't set out to build a legacy it happens as a result of your pursuit of adding value the more you think about it the more you realize it's the same with success and even with money all of them come after you do good work people take notice and this is the first type of Legacy Legacy through example you are writing your legacy every single day so be aware of what you're writing how can an individual be themselves if all they do is be like everyone else you see there are two ways to go through life one by getting on the train of life and riding it in your cabin until the day you die and two by walking swimming and riding your way to the Final Destination that we call death we all get to that same destination but the value lies in the journey the second option is always more interesting than living your life on autopilot that's how New Roads Come To Be Someone Like You decides to create a new path for themselves and the world is paying attention if you do it successfully soon after others will decide to walk the same path but there needs to be a Trailblazer the risk taker the one who enters the Tall Grass not knowing what awaits you can't build legacies by being like everyone else or doing what everyone else is doing as the people early in the comments know there's only one reward for being first everyone else is a follower the world remembers those who are first those who are first to do it right those who are first to take everyone else somewhere they've never been the purpose of wealth is to make sure the Legacy you're writing is worth reading and by doing this your legacy is worth saving for the next type of Legacy that has to do with saving everything of value Legacy through preservation what is the purpose of life if not spending it on that which will Outlast you the more you look back the more you realize that the only things we're seeing is what others have left behind for us that we're able to withstand the test of time preservation of value is key there's value in knowledge preserved in books there's value in art in the way it makes us feel there's value in architecture and the way we build the future based on it there's value and diversity diversity of humans of animals of plant life save it all before we're unable to save anything the purpose of wealth is to give us all a fighting chance to save everything including ourselves allow all of it to thrive and we will Thrive because of it we draw value from it all and if one is paying attention in the last century we've been sacrificing the long game for short-term rewards if you want to build a legacy keep in mind to save what needs saving and rid ourselves of that which doesn't serve society which takes us to the third form of Legacy social Legacy Legacy is not what you're doing for yourself but for everyone coming up next the world rewards those who are brave enough to correct it in a world augmented by creative ideas there's no need for hierarchies we don't need a cast system we don't need race sex religion height eye color or political affiliation to stop us from progress it doesn't matter if we are or not created equal for what the world needs is equality of opportunity anyone from anywhere in the world could build the future through the value of their ideas there's a big difference between equality of outcome and equality of opportunity one leads to society collapsing and one to Society thriving it's those who are fighting for the latter who are building a social Legacy for themselves social Legacy comes from the sacrifice of the self for the benefit of everyone else and that's exactly what we see in the people who've managed to Garner social Legacy the purpose of wealth is not to turn you into a freedom fighter but to give Aid to those whose mission is the minimization of suffering in all its forms the world is changing fast so you're either going to ride the wave of change or you might drown with it and the best way to secure your legacy is through being the one who brings the new wave Legacy through Innovation first they ignore you then they laugh at you then they fight you then you win every innovator is in one of those four brackets are they fighting you laughing at you are they ignoring you or did you win if not keep playing that game until you do Legacy is when you need no introduction people know you because you've touched their lives in a positive way and because of it your reputation precedes you the world remembers the innovators you want to be wealthy and leave behind a legacy well be contrarian and be right who cares what they think if you can prove it so prove it prove them wrong if it doesn't exist yet then build it put your mind where your mouth is and the world will thank you and tip its hat toward you a society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they will never sit your Innovations might be the stepping stone for future Generations we need innovators we need game changers we need people to throw out the status quo and bring us into the future which brings us to the last on this list Legacy but Domino if Innovation relies on figuring out a new solution to an old problem this cannot happen without Discovery Discovery is the first Domino piece in a chain that takes us to places we didn't even know we wanted to go the personal computer was an incredible Innovation but it was only after we connected to the internet that we realized just how big of an impact it can have but without the computer we wouldn't have been able to build the internet without the internet we wouldn't have built blockchain Legacy comes from this layer or Domino style of thinking everyone who gets rich and makes fortunes relies on one of these new layers to begin their legacy IBM with the computer Bill Gates with software Steve Jobs with the iPhone Sergey with Google vitalic with ethereum and now people are building on top of that that's where the saying we are standing on the shoulders of giants comes from and and we've all got plenty of giants that did the heavy lifting for us if you don't have wealth use the most recent layer to build your fortune and then use said wealth to open up the future for what's coming next we might end up living in Virtual Worlds exploring space and bending time we might live happily ever after once we transcend to gods and live eternally as code and today is just a part of that Journey you are part of that Journey so ask

that everything we do is a choice everything we will do will be the result of a choice that we make toward having it we become what we choose to become every single action we take is a choice we like to think that we've got no choice but you chose to watch this video didn't you you chose to open up the internet today you chose to get out of bed this morning when thinking about wealth and the purposes which it serves Freedom security Comfort progress and Legacy most people people think of it in terms of a desire something we wish we could have instead of thinking of it as a choice in a world where everything is at your disposal your reality is a choice as well now what we're about to say will sound pretty controversial but the more deeply you think about it the more you realize it's true in our world of free information staying ignorant is a choice in our world of unlimited teachers staying unskilled is a choice in our world of abundance staying poor is the choice in a world
