With each passing day I have started to really focus on what I have done in my life. I have attended a few funerals which have really made me think and focus on LEGACY. What is it that I want my LEGACY to be ? I know when most see or hear the word LEGACY they jump to grand things , but it doesn’t have to be grand to have a great impact. I realized that when sitting through a funeral service and everyone in this particular funeral had a story where this person did something small but impacted there lives greatly. I want to help make the world a better place. I want to help and feed the homeless. I want to help teen mothers be independent. I want to fix all of the worlds woes…..but I know I will have to start off with a simple hello and smile and work my way up. So with that being said I challenge you and myself to BE NICE to a total stranger. Hold the door for someone struggling with bags. If your in line and someone is .50 cents short and you have it give it make someone’s day. I know ! Those aren’t big things those are small every day things. What about volunteering, and dedicating time and energy ? Those things are also important but I am going start off with something small. Because I know small things that are genuine grow to be BIG things unintentionally. Lets try to see if we can help make kindness contagious. Some of the greatest people that the world has seen didn’t set out to build a LEGACY they wanted to make a difference and inspired others to do the same. So for my LEGACY I want my efforts to make a difference no matter what the size. I want my LEGACY to be inspiring even if it only inspires a small few. I want my LEGACY to make my children proud. So instead of waiting until I am to old or its to late. I am going to take the opportunity to start now. How About You?
