What is in a Legacy?
A legacy is the impression we leave the world with. It is built on our relationship with those in life. It can be said to be held by those we know, and those we don’t directly know, but in some way, they know of us. A legacy is your impression in dance of life, your painting of life, or your song about life you leave life with to remember you. It is created through the colors you used in your communication with others, or the tunes and melodies you left in the hearts and mind of those who were in your company.
Life is the stage, or canvass, or noteless page of music, we all get to create our life on. That creation is of our own choosing. Although our brush strokes, the colors of our selections, our notes sang or played, our footing and such, aren’t always directed by us alone. It is what we do with these unexpected influences which make our masterpiece brilliant. Our legacy, the finish production of our lives, is more so about what we do with those unexpected influences, as it is about anything else. Life truly is about our interactions. As it is said, “A calm sea never made a great sailor”. So, I say to you, “May you find the richness in the unexpected as much as you find it in the expected, so that when the time comes your life will be a masterpiece, a wonderful , no matter how small, still a wonderful legacy of your life”. A caring legacy wherein you have left footsteps of love, peace, and harmony.
