Decisions, Decisions

I was talking to someone earlier who gave me my thought for the day. As a side note you can guess what kind of day I've had if I didn't get a daily thought until almost 9 pm. Anyhoo, the statement was made (more or less) that if I'm going to do something, I wanna be remembered. My foolish response was I don't wanna be remembered, I wanna get paid. A few minutes after I said it, I realized I do wanna be remembered. I guess I do wanna leave some mark on my little corner of the world. I don't want fame. I don't need to be recognized when I walk down the street. What I do want is to leave my non-erasable impression on the minds of those who know me. When I'm gone I want them to speak well of me. I want them to say I was good at what I did, not just that I did it and I died. I'm quite a memorable person. I'm just not always known for doing something good. So here may be my chance to do something redeemable. To re-write my name. To use all those good qualities just lying around in the closet of my mind. Or I could go the route I started. I'd be good, but I'd just be doing it. My issue is I've gotten used to doing things and liking what I do is not really necessary. I know I'm blurbing right now, but go with me. So here's my problem I guess: to do what I know or to take a chance doing what I love. You wouldn't think it's such a hard choice, but it is. I don't know what I'm going to do just yet, but I do know that whatever I choose I've decided to make it memorable.
