I would *love* to know that the memories people have of me will be a blessing to them instead of a burden. WE WILL LEAVE A LEGACYEach day I live I am building a legacy of one kind or another. I *will* leave behind a set of memories and theircorresponding emotions in the minds and hearts of those who have known me -- or known about me. That's a guarantee. It will take place. My legacy -- and yours -- will "happen" and... *It will be unique to who we are, what we have said, and how we have lived. *It will fall on either the negative or positive side of the "good or bad" scale life. SO TODAY'S QUESTION IS...Why not work hard at creating your own legacy of memories? A "positive memory legacy" if you please. *Positive memories of yourself *Positive memories of your values *Positive memories of your lifestyleA common term today is "intentional." That's as good asany! Why not be *intentional* in terms of the legacy youwill leave behind? YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN... Good memories. Memories that inspire people. Memories that are a blessing to others. Memories that leave behind "a good track record of life." PLAN IT!Plan to leave something of "high value" behind. Something that reflects the deepest desires or concerns of your heart.It could be a legacy that... *People might consider "a gift" *Causes people to fight for what is right *Saves lives *Heals the hurts of others *Encourages *Inspires people to live up to their potentialThe exact nature of each individual legacy will be definedby what is most important to that person. In other words...Your heart will provide the motivation that drives you todesign what type of "memory set" you desire to leave in the minds of others. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUTWhat are you doing now that will help future generations? *How will your character help them? *How will your style of life help them? *How will the words your speak help them? AND ALWAYS REMEMBER...The terrible price of disgrace. Let the thought of disgrace prevent you from foolish wordsand actions.Disgrace rarely -- if ever -- travels alone. A mother A father A family A business And even a nation...Can feel the imprint of just one person's disgraceful words,attitudes and actions. Remember this --> Today's pleasure often disguises tomorrow's disgrace.Or you could say it this way: the disgrace of tomorrow oftencomes wrapped in a deceptively beautiful package with a tagon it that reads "the pleasure of the moment." TWO ADDITIONAL THOUGHTSONE: Gather the right kind of wealth. Something to think about: what real value is there in gaining wealth without respect? Why not seek to gain both? Gain wealth *and* respect. *Wealth alone doesn't earn the respect of wives, husbands, or children! *Wealth alone doesn't earn the respect of team members, students or work associates. Remember: Success without respect is not success.TWO: Plan to leave an "inheritance of great value" to thoseyou love. All of us would love to leave a solid financial inheritance to those we love. But there's more: we can strive to leave them... *The heritage of a good name. *A strong spiritual heritage. *A strong emotional heritage.NOW ABOUT YOUR HEART...What does your heart say? What is the *most* important treasure you desire to leave with others?"My most important treasure I want to leave with othersis... ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________"I am working hard at leaving that treasure by... ______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________Yours for a day filled with beautiful moments in time,Lee -------------------------------Lee is a seminary administrator, has a part-time business at home, and writes two motivational ezines: "A BeautifulMoment In Time" and "Hope For Daily Living."
