A Life Statement is like an ethical will because it records your values, life lessons, and hopes. It goes beyond an ethical will, memoir, life story, or autobiography because it speaks to your core values and who you are in a bigger context. Life Statements are popular with those interested in ethical wills, family history, family trees, and genealogy. Contributing your Life Story to the Legacy Project is more meaningful because it is shared not only with your family but also becomes part of a learning community. A Life Statement is an ethical will made more dynamic and meaningful.

The ultimate measure of your life is what you learn from your life experiences, the ideas you bring into the world, the values you live by, and your hopes for the future. The Legacy Project Life Statement is an opportunity to share who you are to create a blueprint for living and a gift for the next generation. Find out how to create, permanently record, and share your Life Statement, and read the inspiring, thought-provoking Life Statements of others.

CREATE YOUR LIFE STATEMENT

Create Your Life Statement

In keeping with the tradition in some cultures of writing an ethical will – which, instead of passing along valuables, passes along values – a Life Statement is a way to explore who you are, your relationships with others, and your impact on the world. You can create a Life Statement as a personal journey of self-discovery, as a gift to yourself and your family, or to celebrate the birth of a child or grandchild. You can also write one about a parent, grandparent, or other family member as a way to honor their memory.
