How will I be remembered?

I was wondering about how I appear, I mean really appear. It seems that being precious is rare, but does that apply to eternal life? On earth, being desirable seems to be the goal, but does it actually even come close to real beauty? Attractive women are a dime a dozen, if someone were seeking that I would think it would not be too hard to find and keep, but, what really more than appears desirable?

I will end with lyrics to a song I wrote for a RM guy who 7 years post mission he was still not married. I think he was smart and his current wife and he will be all the happier for his enduring and clinging to something eternal that only included being attractive physically. Here is the chorus:

what's 7 years to forever,
If forever I had to live without you?

It was actually written for Jacob and Rachel when he waa fooled into working 7 years for Leah and 7 more for Rachel.
