Everyone leaves a legacy. The only question is what kind of legacy are you leaving?
Your legacy is created with every action you take, with every achievement you make and with every victory you create.
Everyday you are leaving your mark, your legacy consists of your failures and your recoveries.
Your legacy matters not just to you, but also to all those who follow you, care for you and emulate you.
Your legacy matters to all who seek to be loved by you and who you seek to love.
Your teaching, your philosophy, you wisdom, your knowledge will leave a wake long after you are gone.
Your legacy makes a difference.
Be one of those people who work hard, play hard and live hard.
Leave a legacy.
NO…
Leave a great legacy.
Be a person who cares with compassion!
Be a person who is kind and lives from their heart!
Be a person who loves deeply and passionately!
Be a person who shows up and stands for something!
Be a person who consistently performs in excellence!
Be a person who gives more than they take!
Be a person who is great!
Lead from within: You don’t develop a great legacy in a day. You create a legacy day by day, moment by moment, second by second, What will your day be like today?

Excellent! Thinking about your legacy comes down to living a life of meaning, of significance. Too often, we focus on this too late in our lives. We need to make our life choices on our legacy sooner rather than later… delivers more meaning for ourselves and those around us. Thanks, Lolly! Jon

A Great Post for a Great Visionary & Leader.
The Legacy is still complex to realize, but as you and Jon mentioned, at least let’s grasp as much as we can and share with others, passionately and without expecting returns.
Thanks for sharing Lolly.
