The Laws of Life: The Law of Legacy
The day is impending when you draw your last breath, your heart will stop beating, and you will exit the earth, ending this life as you have known it. The warning signs are all around as you have watched many go on before, not everyone being old in age. What happens then? Welcome to the Law of Legacy!!!
The Law of Legacy
The Law of Legacy references more than leaving assets behind when you die. It is actually living in such a way that you have exemplified the best of what was handed down to you – Whether resources, values, wisdom, etc.; then building upon and adding to what you have received and engraved it into society through the generations that follow! As far as leaving behind resources…it is important; but more important to leave how you acquired and maintained them.
· First, a legacy is not left when you die; it is left by how you live. To create and pass on a legacy requires living a peaceful life in harmony with the Laws of Life, which brings about fulfillment and satisfaction. Because we all are here temporarily, we must flow into the chord of what lives from generation to generation. When we figure this out, we are very close to embarking on our purpose in life. The realization that it’s really not about selfishness, but selflessness is when we really begin to live.
· Next, all legacies are not equal: they can be horrible, bad, good, great, and more. The legacy you live, and ultimately leave depends upon the matrix of your life. What you are currently thinking, speaking, doing, and fostering is creating your legacy…brick by brick. If you live your life in a state of misery and sadness, you will pass it on. If you live a life of happiness and fulfillment, you will impart it now and leave it imprinted in the future. Your legacy is about every day!
· Last take a look at the conditions of the world in which we live today. How did we get here? Do you think things are better or worse? Whatever your viewpoint is, we are here because of The Law of Legacy. The real question is how will our tenure on earth impact it for the generations to come? How can we be intentional about improving things to make them better than when we arrived on the planet? Is there a connection between the quality of our lives and the quality of our legacy?
The future of our children and grandchildren will be definitely impacted by the legacies that we impart. As you continue to make your life a quality one, it will have a cascading effect on the future of all. In this regard, your life is quintessentially significant…treat it with diligence and care! Thanks for sticking with me through this 50th Law of Life. I will give you a summary next week.
Grace and Peace to you and yours,
Roger
