Dear loving people,
Lesson two was asking you to make a decision.
Lets look at one of its outcomes, which involves leaving a legacy for
generations to come...
Dwyane Wade says, “ Whenever
I feel like I'm getting too far away from where I need to be, I think about my
sons and the legacy I have to leave for them - and it always brings me back to
reality.”
Even at the start of such a promising
year as 2015, a fundamental question remains relevant for many a people on the
quest for a fulfilling life. What will happen if you’re gone today or tomorrow?
What will be left after you? How will people remember you? And will they
remember you at all? These questions are scary, I know. And we avoid them as
much as we can. Actually most people ask themselves that only once in a
lifetime. And it’s often when it’s too late to do anything about it and make a
change.
Many come to the conclusion that
there’s nothing left after all the years they spent here on earth and more sadly;
it’s like they’ve never lived at all. What they do as a result of that illumination
is to spend their last years in total regret and disappointment.
It’s amazing to have hope, to enjoy
life and try everything you want. But it won’t hurt if you start contributing
earlier so that when you turn back you see that what you’ve done matters. That
will also prevent us from feeling the deepest regret and desperation once we
realize we’ve done nothing for so many decades.
It’s one thing to improve yourself
daily, to be grateful, happy and live for the moment. But it’s completely
another to make all that with a purpose, meaning and desire to make the world a
better place than you met it.
“You want to leave something, you really do. I mean, in the end, statues and all those things, that doesn’t mean anything. Leave something we are all going to benefit from.” Says George Foreman
But before you can leave a legacy, you
must have a tested dream. That, we will see in the next post…
