Live a life as a monument to your soul.

The line urges a person to treat their life as a lasting testament to their inner character and values—something “built” through choices, integrity, and purposeful action. Read in a broadly Randian key, it aligns with her emphasis on self-authorship, rational purpose, and living by one’s convictions rather than by social pressure or self-sacrifice. “Monument” implies durability and visibility: a life that stands as evidence of what one believes the human spirit can be. Even outside Rand’s philosophy, the phrase functions as a moral exhortation to make one’s conduct and achievements reflect one’s deepest principles.
