Meaning of life?

Maybe not but how will you be remembered? What 3 words would you want to be remembered as? Lier, thief, vandal? or how about "funny, smart, nice".. What will your obituary say about you, or your tomb stone.
I was recently presented with questions like this and it got me to think. What 3 words do I want to be remembered as. And, what would I like someone to consider writing for my obituary. Will it inspire people or make them chuckle in pity?
This is when I decided to always keep this in mind and try to shape those 3 words. We have the power in what we do and say to influence what people will remember of us. The day of the dead Mexican holiday celebrates the cycle of life and death. They believe someone dies 3 times. First, when you physically die. Second, when the casket is lowered into the ground. And third, when nobody is left to remember you.
This last point is particularly striking. I would like to think my life has meaning now. I would also hope it had meaning after I depart. How can we leave behind a memory for more people to remember us? If we leave behind a legacy for which we will always be remembered, we have immortalized ourselves.
I vow to try my best to leave behind more then 3 words, leave behind something people will remember me by and be thankful for. What about you?
