How Do I Want to Be Remembered When I Die?

By Mark Hamilton | Post Date: May 22nd, 2017 | Categories:

When I pass from this life to the next, I want to leave something behind. I don’t expect to have monuments built in my honor, but I don’t want to slip away unnoticed. I want to be survived by something – a legacy, a message, a statement.

The question is: How do I want to be remembered when I die?

Knowing that I want to be remembered is one thing, but figuring out how I want to be remembered when I die is another. It’s the difference between wishful thinking and turning those thoughts into a meaningful reality.

I searched and searched for a way that I could be remembered that was also in the realm of possibility. It’s not like we can just will ourselves to be famous, noteworthy, or especially consequential in our community, country, or world. I needed to find a way for everyday people to be remembered when they die. How to create your own wikipedia page

Faced with this predicament, I began doing some research. I thought that maybe I would like to have a Wikipedia page about myself, but I quickly realized that Wikipedia is strictly regulated and only people who are “notable” can have their own Wikipedia pages. Creating a Wikipedia page about myself turned out not to be feasible.

Then, I came across an alternative to Wikipedia, and I knew I had found what I was looking for! Read on to find out what this alternative was, and why...

What Will Happen to Your Digital Life After Death

Digital Life After Death

Your Digital Afterlife

Have you ever considered what will happen to your digital life after death? Though sweeping generalizations can certainly not be made, it’s fair to say that most people have at least one profile on a social networking site – be it Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Myspace, or any of the other plethora of options out there.

Digital Life After Death

What happens to your social networking site profiles after you die? And more importantly, what do you want to happen to them after you die?

On many social networking sites, your profile will simply slip away into the oblivion once you stop logging in. Many social networking sites don’t promote the addition of truly meaningful content to user profiles, so surviving friends and family members don’t find any reason to continue visiting a deceased person’s profile after their passing.

For example, once you stop tweeting, will anybody really go back and reread the archive of your previous tweets after you’re gone? Tweets are such brief snippets of thought. It’s hard to even get a complete sentence to fit within the character limit imposed on tweets.

Peoplepedia is different.

What Legacy Do I Want To Leave Behind

What You Should Leave Behind After You Die

 

Death is a part of life, and everyone must come to accept this. Preparing for your death can ease the process not only for you, but for the people you leave behind when you pass on. Sure, there’s a will to be written and material possession to divvy up, but what else should you leave behind after you die?

 

Leave Your Legacy Online

The truth is, material possessions can only accomplish so much when it comes to leaving a legacy after you die. Heirlooms may be valuable in monetary terms, but they don’t capture your heart, soul, and spirit.

Wearing your grandmother’s locket or keeping your father’s favorite cuff links in your jewelry box may bring back memories of that person when you look at them, but what if you could actually bring back a piece of that person instead?

No, we aren’t talking about black magic or reincarnation. We’re talking about encouraging the people you love to create Peoplepedia profiles alongside you so that you can all leave your legacy online.

How to leave a legacy for your family

Creating a Peoplepedia profile is the ultimate piece of you that you can leave behind after you die. Unlike heirlooms or sums of money, your Peoplepedia profile will contain your heart, soul, and spirit. Instead of leaving behind something that’s empty, leave behind a Peoplepedia profile that’s full of your thoughts, realizations, and wisdom.

How to Make Someone Remember You Forever

Being remembered forever is something that many of us fantasize about. We relish the thought of living on, even after our earthly bodies have expired. We wish that we could preserve ourselves so that anybody could meet us, learn from us, and hear about our life experiences.

Each of us has a story that is totally unique, and it’s troubling to think about how many people leave this life without writing their stories down for future generations to read.

No two people are exactly the same, and no two people ever will be.

Knowing that you are a one-of-a-kind is very empowering. Perhaps it motivates you to become well known and recognized for all the things that make you who you are.

There has never been anyone just like you, and there never will be. Wouldn’t it be a shame if you, and everything that makes you unique, perished just because your physical body reached the conclusion of its time on Earth?

Signing up for Peoplepedia and writing your story online will put an end to this fear!

 

Why Do You Want to Be Remember Forever?

People want to be remember forever because they comprehend how special they are. It’s truly amazing to consider that out of approximately 7.5 billion people living on this planet, there is not a single person who is exactly like you. Not one.

Many people don’t understand the gravity of this fact. They don’t realize the great power, and the great...

Why It's So Difficult to Create a Wikipedia Page for a Person (And What You Can Do Instead)

How to Create a Wikipedia Page for a Person

Have you ever tried to create a Wikipedia page for yourself or for a person? If you have, you probably wound up feeling disappointed. And if you haven’t, save yourself the trouble of trying, because it’s not going to work.

You may be questioning, “Why can’t I create my own Wiki? There seems to be a Wikipedia page about everyone. Why can’t there be one about me?” Can I Create My Own Wikipedia Page?

 

The Rules of Wikipedia to Create Page for a Person

In short, you can’t create a Wikipedia page about yourself or for a person because Wikipedia has lots of rules. While it may seem that just about anything you can think of has a Wikipedia article written about it, that’s not necessarily true.

In order to create a Wikipedia page for a person, the Wikipedia Policies and Guidelines state that, “the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be ‘worthy of notice’ or ‘note’ – that is, ‘remarkable’ or ‘significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded’ within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. ‘Notable’ in the sense of being ‘famous’ or ‘popular’ – although not irrelevant – is secondary.”

So, what exactly does that mean? Who does Wikipedia deem “worthy of notice,” “remarkable,” “significant,” “interesting,” or “unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded”? Who gets to decide if...
