The voyage of discovery…not seeing new landscapes but seeing with “new eyes”-and experiencing the many secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware. How do we explain the “process”-the journey-of fulfilling our legacy? The journey of going into oneself…not only into the mind but into the heart. To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary to one without faith, no explanation is possible.” Like Saint Thomas Aquinas explains: With faith, there are no questions without faith there are no answers. Our answer might be: God is not loved “without” reward: God is loved without “the thought” of reward. It’s sort-of like the atheists, non-believers or agnostics who question the purity of Christians’ love of God: “The only reason you love God is because you expect something in return, right?” Yet, we all know there will be those who will question our motives and perhaps call us “Hippocrates! You are self-serving capitalists.” They refuse to believe who we are and what we do can possibly be the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul.
#OUTWARD LEGACY PROFESSIONAL#
Thus the great personal and professional leadership question: What do we live for if not to make life less difficult for each other? The things we do for ourselves are gone when we are gone, but the things we do for others remain as our legacy. My Legacy if things fall right is I will be the fella who did to ebooks what CDs did to cassettes!!! Yeah think that will impress these two ladies, don’t you think? So that Why big enough when times get tough I look at their pictures and it drives me onward when it feels easier to throw in the towel. Second I found a woman I can’t seem to feel a way I can live without, so I want to do something sensational to impress her!!!! I like #3 best…develop skills!!! You know some things I am doing right now I stink!!! I mean I stink!!! 90 days from now I won’t!!ĭeveloping skills to me means I got to start whee I am……stinking up the joint and best practice, best practice, best practice and get better.Īlso need to make my Why gigantic…for me my Why is doing something spectacular my Momma can see before her Alzheimer’s makes it impossible for her to understand what I accomplished. Sometimes Mr Dan just your title gets my cortisol juices flowing!!!!!such a great topic!!!!!įor me becoming a Laser Focused Directed Specific instead of a wandering generality is an essential first decision. “No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.”

Develop and maximize your talent, strengths, and skills.What are you doing when you make the biggest difference. Angry, unhappy people leave sad legacies. The only way to change legacy is to change now. It’s not enough to add positive behaviors eliminate bad. Living the life others want you to live.īuild legacy by eliminating behaviors and attitudes that dilute impact.It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”

Today’s footprint is tomorrow’s legacy.Įveryone leaves a legacy. Leadership is all about what you leave behind.

How people think of you now is how people will think of you then.
