Footprints in the SAND of TIME

Life is like Footprints on the SAND of TIME.

Whatever step you take in life is engraved in the sand of time.

These footprints are indelible i.e cannot be erased on the sand of time.

We all have positive and negative legacies. If our positive legacies outweighs our negative legacies, we are likely to be remembered for the positive legacies which will then be the footprints we left in the SAND of TIME.

However, if our negative legacies outweighs our positive legacies, we are likely to be remembered for the negative legacies which will then be the footprints we left behind in the SAND of TIME.

In conclusion, always have a second thought about whatever you are doing so that you will be long remembered for the positive legacies you left on the SAND of TIME before and after you are gone from this planet.
