Have you ever thought about this - in 100 years time few of us, if any, will be here. And all of that little stuff we get stressed over means nothing.

THE ONLY THING THAT WILL MATTER WILL BE THE LEGACY YOU LEAVE BEHIND.

What will be your legacy ..... food for thought.

A Legacy

A legacy is defined in the dictionary as ‘an amount of money or property left to someone in a will’. Is that right ........ Howard Hughes left behind a heap of money in a will, never changed my life one iota. Mother Theresa left nothing behind in a will, now that lady made a difference to how I think about things and what I do.

What a lame definition, nothing inspirational about a money or property legacy.

Permit me to offer a different opinion of what your legacy will be.

-----------------------------------------------------

Your legacy is going to be this ......

1. •THE ROLE YOU PLAYED in shaping the thinking and lives of your children and the people around you;
   

2. •The VISION YOU CREATED for those who observed you and took notice of how you lived your life; and
   

3. •The MEMORIES that people will have of you and HOW THEY DEFINE the kind of person you became during your time in this world.
   

-----------------------------------------------------

Corny stuff, probably.

Important to think about, absolutely.

Is it based on money or property .... not even close.

So....

1. • The next time you let something small get under your skin, just remember you are setting the standard for everybody who observes you.
   

2. •The next time you struggle to change something your life, remember that by doing it you set a new standard for other people - your partner, your kids, your friends. Make the decision and do it, the ripple effect is bigger than you imagine.
   

I wonder who comes up with those definitions by the way.

Have a meaningful life, your friend,
