The best thing you would do for yourself as the week unravels itself is to add value to your life, as much as you can. Because it doesn't take anything for people to move on. They will forget you like you never existed; not because you're dead, but just by a simple absence from their eyes, you become absent in their minds.
But your value, your good works? They linger on.
Little wonder why they go for days, weeks, and almost forever, and no one asks you, ‘How are you?’. Everyone just moves on as if you never existed, as though you never made an impact, as if they had never come in contact with you.
But the funny thing is that, once in a while, they will remember, ‘oh, there was someone who did this or that's, and that's it.
People may not remember you, no matter how long you stayed in their midst but one thing that will linger in the hearts of people is your value; what you represented when you were with them, what you did, the impact you made, the lives you touched, the gifts you gave… those are what will represent you later on.
So, don't get angry when you stay for long and it seems no one is calling you, or ‘praising’ you.
Ask yourself, ‘Did I make any impact there? What would I be remembered for? When my name is mentioned, if at all it would, will it be for good or evil?
Stop getting angry that people tend to forget you. In the real sense, they do not forget you. Fine, they may not call you to check on you but once in a while, if there was something that made your presence stand out, they will remember it and make reference to it.
Invariably, you may no longer be with them physically, but your memories live on.
