Yes it is true, many people ignore this fact, but it is as you say, life comes and goes, only the memories will remain, but the question is how we want to be remembered at that moment. What teaching or reflection we will leave to our family and even to those around us, how they will remember you as a normal person or a person who despite the mistakes did not give up to be better and achieve their goals. It is important to take into account how we want to be remembered. Greetings.
