Legacy-Do You Know What Your Imprint with Be from the Grave?
In an article entitled, "Leaving Our Legacies Mindfully", the author discusses how we should think about what our legacy will be and do so mindfully. In a culture filled with selfies, I often wonder how many of us actually care about what our imprint on the world will be when we take our last breathe. Three things resonate with me from the article: Passion, caring, and living authentically. When we are passionate about something, we are invested and willing to go beyond the call of duty. Feelings behind our passion are often our reward for the work that we do. When we care about others, we say to them that their lives matters. One thing that has taken a back sheet to our selfie culture is our ability to truly care about others. This can be how we treat each other on a daily basis and most definitely how we step up in a person's time of need. From caring, grows empathy, grows compassion, and ultimately leads to real change in our lives and the lives of those we come in
Tears are FLOWING! Found this one tonight while surfing. So reminds me of my mother's journey on this earth and how still remember the impact she made for me and others since her death in 2007. Powerful stuff, one to watch, one with a message. Message: although they are gone, although we may have forgot their scent, although we may have forgotten their voice, we never forget their spirit. My mother's could be described as one that was fierce and complicated, yet soft and compassionate.
