Leaving Your Very Best Legacy Behind
Written by Randi Fine
Excerpted from the Podcast A Fine Time for Healing,
Titled, Are You Living Your Legacy?
Whatever we achieve in life--the knowledge we acquire, and the challenges we rise above-- gets passed down through the generations that follow after us. Our words and actions become ripples in the sea of time. They will impact the lives of our family, friends, and community, and continue to carry on long after we are gone. The legacy of our lives will impact the lives of those we hold dearest—our children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and future generations. Our words and actions of today influence the way we will be remembered tomorrow.
The legacy we leave will be a reflection of the way we live our lives today. This legacy will be largely influenced by the outlooks, attitudes, values, and convictions that we consistently demonstrated to others while we were on this Earth.
How will you be remembered? What stories and memories will you leave behind?
Consider this...
It is better to be remembered as one who was loving than one who was loathing.
