All of us have
potential of leaving a set of positive memories in
minds and hearts of people.
I would *love* to know that
memories people have of me will be a blessing to them instead of a burden.
WE WILL LEAVE A LEGACY
Each day I live I am building a legacy of one kind or another. I *will* leave behind a set of memories and their corresponding emotions in
minds and hearts of those who have known me -- or known about me.
That's a guarantee. It will take place.
My legacy -- and yours -- will "happen" and...
*It will be unique to who we are, what we have said, and how we have lived. *It will fall on either
negative or positive side of
"good or bad" scale life.
SO TODAY'S QUESTION IS...
Why not work hard at creating your own legacy of memories? A "positive memory legacy" if you please.
*Positive memories of yourself *Positive memories of your values *Positive memories of your lifestyle
A common term today is "intentional." That's as good as any! Why not be *intentional* in terms of
legacy you will leave behind?
YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN...
Good memories. Memories that inspire people. Memories that are a blessing to others. Memories that leave behind "a good track record of life."
PLAN IT!
Plan to leave something of "high value" behind. Something that reflects
deepest desires or concerns of your heart. It could be a legacy that...
*People might consider "a gift" *Causes people to fight for what is right *Saves lives *Heals
hurts of others *Encourages *Inspires people to live up to their potential
The exact nature of each individual legacy will be defined by what is most important to that person.
In other words...
Your heart will provide
motivation that drives you to design what type of "memory set" you desire to leave in
minds of others.
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
What are you doing now that will help future generations?
