Leaving your Legacy Behind
Posted on July 04, 2014 by Emily Correa, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
Have you put enough meaning into your purpose?
What is “leaving a legacy” behind all about?
Well, it is about the value of giving your life a MEANING through your outstanding actions so big that you change other’s lives in the process and your life is a living memory that inspires the masses.
That’s right; you are devoting your life in a way that is full of truth and bravery and NOT all about you.
The purpose of leaving a legacy is so that it lives forever through the memory of the endlessly.
This is greater than fame, which is everyone “knowing your name” and caring until you are not popular anymore.
This is greater than “having it all”… with all your materialistic aims accomplished.
Leaving a legacy is my core life goal and should be yours too.
I’m giving up my life to help those in arts + entertainment speak directly and clearly to society using their art as the vehicle of expression while getting prosperous in the process.
How are you leaving your legacy behind?
When I coach clients on their legacy, I start this work off by helping them co-design a clear VISION on where they want to go with their life and artistic careers.
Vision work is very important, because frankly, the directionless go nowhere. They waste a lot of time and energy failing left and right on poor choices, and weaken in the process over time. Then their competitors get an edge over them and book more gigs. This is one the biggest problems with the acting, arts + entertainment world, lack of clarity and vision, which results in a lost opportunity at a legacy!
You would be surprised to know how many artists, entertainers etc. I have come across that have NO CLUE what they want to achieve in 1 year, let alone 5 years. They have no idea on what they want for “a legacy” and how to be remembered by the world.
They are simply “reacting” to outside circumstances, which is a pretty weak position to be in. Then they waste years of their lives and hit walls, breaking their spirits in the process. Their beautiful gifts never fet a full chance to truly transform society.
I know this path…I went through it myself.
You can’t let this happen. You must MAKE things happen in life, and be a leader! Not WAIT for things to happen, and remain unprepared. Grab your armor, build a team…it starts with vision and ends with a LEGACY.
Preparation always in this process of creating the ideal artistic life, dear artist!
And by having a VISION, you are like a warrior building up your suit of arms. You have your eye on your target, and with the proper game plan you can then break down those walls per month, then by week…smartly gauging your success.
Leaving a legacy is about inspiring the masses with all the good works you have done to improve society. It’s bigger THAN you, and for the evolution of society to peace and prosperity as a whole, it’s NECESSARY.
And you can do this work successfully only if you are on your CORRECT life path. You know you are on the CORRECT life path when you are in ALIGNMENT and everything is flowing around you properly.
You have the universe inside of you, an inner world dear artist!
And your outer world rotates around you based on your inner world, much like the planets around the sun. You can start straightening out those energies by having your vision first and deciding on your LEGACY.
So here are some coaching questions that can help you design a vision that works well with your legacy:
¨ At the end of your life, what do you want to be most PROUD of?
¨ If you had 1 year to live, what do you NEED to do?
¨ What do you want your eulogy (sorry, I know it’s dark) to share to the world?
¨ In the next world, when you look back at your old life and you observe the world, how did you change it to be better?
¨ How is the next generation better off with the work you have done in your lifetime?
¨ What do you want your kids to tell others about you?
¨ How do you want the world your grandchildren are brought into to look like?
¨ What is the most important fight within you and what do you need to accomplish?
¨What would you give your LIFE to as a positive cause?
¨ You would die happy and 100% fulfilled knowing that at the end of your life you…
I will leave you to consider these questions…
Inspirationally your Muze,
