i really belive that life is about making sure that one person just one person,
no matter if you love them no matter if their just your freinds or family,
but that life is the eternal strugle on leaving a permanent dent on their soul
, to echo throughought energy, and show that its not what you did, but who you helped.
in the short sense, its who u left an impression on

that is a very altruistic belief
I agree to some extent that you should help others and that the point is of you being remembered for something like that, but is that it? there's nothing more to your motto? your satisfied by that alone?

Yes I agree. I don't know about just one person though. You probably leave an indelible impression on a number of people. But it's true that what you do affects others & that you should try to be a positive influence in their life. This is worth more than any amount of money or accolades.
I was talking to one of my friends the other day & she was feeling a little bit down. She said that as she gets older she realizes that when she dies she will leave nothing behind. She said that most people have children to carry on their name. People like me (well hopefully, I am an artist and musician) have their music & art to leave behind. She was concerned that she hasn't made a mark on the world. That after her family has all passed away (dwindling numbers getting older) that she will be forgotten. That her life won't have mattered. I told her that of course she will be remembered & has made her mark on the world. She is one of my biggest fans (musically & of my artwork). She is so proud of my recent accomplishments. I told her that she played a big part in them because it was she that inspired me to move to a new community and buy my first home, which in turn led to my showing my artwork, playing music in a bar that she told me about & meeting the man of my dreams. Not only does she offer encouragement, inspiration & support to friends but in her job, she helps people all the time. I told her that each little act of kindness, to friends & strangers has an effect which can make a lasting impact. I told her I will always remember her & that many others will too. We don't all have to accomplish great things to leave a legacy. Even little things matter. Smile at someone, offer a helping hand, plant a tree or a garden. Leave the world a little nicer place than you found it. No matter how small the gesture you can never underestimate the "butterfly effect" of your actions. Leave a good impression & it's a life well-lived.

BRILLIANT!!! Yes! you are correct. At the end of your life, people will not remember you for all the achievements and success you accomplished as much as they'll remember how you've been in this process of life. Have you been an asshole, a jerk, subduing others to get to your successes? Or have you been kind and loving....in the midst of your successes.
Good for you. We need more people on this planet like you!

It's wordy, but good. But I don't really see it as a motto or phrase.
How about this? That which you wish for your self....give to another!
