Your Legacy



“Time is just a bunch of numbers… legacy is what you make of your time.” ~ Jordan D. Ulmer


Situational awareness … Fact, we are all dying from the day we are born… Fact, there is only a finite time we have on earth … Question, what will you do with your TIME?
Tendencies (Actions) – What will you chose to do?  What difference will you make?
Intimacies (Relationships) –Who will you, invest time in?  Will you be a father, a mother, a mentor, a friend?  Will you be an inspiration to someone?
Meaning (Motivation) – Why will you do what you do?  What will your motivation be?
Essence (Identity) – Who will you become and what Legacy will you leave behind?  What will be said of you?
While you are considering some the previous questions ponder also your current status (look at all the questions in past tense).  Is there a gap between who you are currently and who you want to become?  If so what are you doing to fill that gap? 
Live to invest in others, to fulfill your purpose, to be all that you were created to be and do all that you were put on this earth to do.  Take action, build your legacy TODAY! 
Your legacy is a document which only you can write on, it is the epiphany of the effects your life will leave.  Slowly but surely, legacy is something you build everyday. 
So I challenge you, to daily live and lead a legacy worth leaving.
Sincerely,
--
“15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” ~ NIV Joshua 24:15
