Have You Ever Written Your Legacy?

I have been in classes and seminars where the exercise was to write your legacy…what you wanted people to say about you at your funeral. I never felt empowered on those exercises, and whatever I wrote always seemed to be something I invented just to do the exercise.

I have the good fortune to belong to an organization called HUB, Humanity Unites Brilliance, an amazing organization with three weekly curriculums: Personal Development, Business Growth and Humanitarian Impact -- plus much much more.

Last Monday was a turning point regarding writing my legacy. I’ve had a lot of pieces in place, but it was during the HUB Personal Development Conference Call that I began to see how they fit together for me. I was so certain about what my legacy was to be that the words flowed easily. I spent several hours after the call and several more again the next morning putting together the words that described what I was to accomplish in the rest of my life.

Peter Benson, in a book called “Sparks”, says that sparks are the hidden flames in kids that excite them and tap into their true passions. Sparks, he says, have the power to change a young person’s life from one of “surviving” to “thriving”. My passion is to be the catalyst that causes us to create the environment where all the kids in the schools find their sparks and thrive, where they find their own passion and purpose, their own piece of the puzzle.

In my next post I’ll tell you what I declared my Legacy to be. Every time I think about it I feel so serene knowing that this is what I came here to do.
