What kind of life lived creates a legacy? What it is that we do today that will speak for us as we move on from this mortal life into immortality?
In the race to lead a good life everyday and a better life the next day, the thought of leaving a legacy behind never occurs to us. In moments of distress, we often wonder if this is life, but once those moments are over, we believe once more that we are immortal and life after death does not hold any reality any more. To live a fulfilling life and leave the world with a feeling of self-worth, it is important to determine our legacy and start working on it immediately.
However, to be able to leave a legacy, we first need to delve deeper within ourselves and find out what is important to us, what makes us happy, what kind of work will give us immense satisfaction, help our family and to top it all – stroke our passion! It is the seeking today that will fulfill us for ever!
Certain strategies can help us determine our legacy and get started:
Start with the end in mind – if you are on your death bed, where do you see yourself; alone in a hospital bed or surrounded by folks who love you, family home with loving people around or in a mansion with a private nurse?
Define your core values – what turns you on and what is it that is most important to you?
What will make you proud when you look back on your life – Spreading peace, providing employability, growing plants and forests, helping the sick, building a real estate empire, becoming the prime minister, a teacher….? Make a list of everything that you want to do, have and accomplish over this lifetime.
Is your current life supporting the dream of your legacy – Look at your regular week-day and week-end life – does it support your dreams and goals; and is it moving you on your path to leaving behind the legacy that you want!
Determine Step I – While you create a set of goals with the ultimate end in mind, look at what you need to do NOW! To climb Mt. Everest, you may need to hit the gym first to train your body, or get a passport, or just save money for equipment and training – start at the start to reach the end!
Always keep the end in sight; in your line of vision – while you relentlessly chip off bit by bit towards creating your legacy. Keep the big picture in your line of sight…. be unstoppable, and like they say….Keep moving….
Your legacy lies in your hands and is the key to your life of fulfillment. A Life Coach can help you filter out what you need in your life and what you don’t, create a clear set of priorities and work towards eliminating what is not needed. When you seek change and fulfillment, the universe will conspire for your coach to find you. Once the laws of the universe are in action, you know that your legacy is assured!!!
