Short termer

Two successive weeks someone has spoken about the direction and future direction that my business is or should take. It's refreshing to hear people speak of something other than the obvious or of a direction that is short term. I do see, however, that life won't hold the future for very much longer for me, that it is short term. My life, after I'm gone, will be lived through my posterity. It will live only through my usefulness to humanity. That's comforting in a way because it makes my moments now a little more purposeful.
