As you read this blog, post, begin to think about what is your legacy.
We all are creating a legacy. It will be reflected by the words spoken at our memorial service.
– What will people say about us?
– What will they remember years later?
– What have we contributes, shared, taught to others?
– How have we made a mark?
Of course, in 100 years, little is left for many of us, beyond the family history and traditions passed down through the generations. But we are all leaving a footprint on the planet.
Regardless of your accomplishments so far, it is never too late to create a meaningful legacy.
As you discover more about what a successful life means to you, you can connect your dreams, plans and actions to your legacy.
Begin by writing down the three words which best describe your now. They can be verbs, nouns or adjectives. Try to be consistent with the part of speech you choose.
Mine are I serve, I teach, I play.
Refer back to your definition of successful life. Are your three words reflect in your successful life statement? If not, this is your starting point for change. Think about the one area of your life you want to work on first in the new year.
In two weeks, we will commit to one resolution for 2013.
