Legacy Doesn’t Wait for Perfect

Updated: Nov 20, 2025

Inspired by Alua Arthur’s TED Talk “Why Thinking About Death Helps You Live a Better Life.” 





A Reflection for Kalina Media

Rumi once said, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.”  Alua Arthur, a death doula, reminds us of a similar truth: when we face death, we discover how to live more fully.


Death as a Teacher

Alua asks a powerful question: “What must I do to be at peace with myself so that I may live presently and die gracefully?”


This question is not about endings, it’s about beginnings. It invites us to live with clarity, to honor our relationships, and to prioritize what truly matters.


Legacy Through Living Archives


At Kalina Media, we see this wisdom reflected in the magazines we create.

  • Each edition is a living archive of your journey.

  • Each story is a reminder that our time is finite, and therefore sacred.

  • Each "Prism of Me Legacy " is a way to celebrate your voice now, so it continues to shine long after.

Thinking about death doesn’t diminish life, it amplifies it. It pushes us to publish, to celebrate, to stop waiting for “perfect” and start living boldly.


Done Is Better Than Perfect

Perfection delays legacy. Presence creates it. Your magazine doesn’t need to be flawless, it needs to be done. Because every page is a blessing, every story is a prism, and every edition is a gift to your community.


Shine Brighter. Shine Bolder.

You are not just building a business. You are curating legacy. You are not just coaching clients. You are archiving transformation. You are not just telling stories. You are publishing ceremony.
