Leave A Legacy

Perhaps there is no greater question we could ever ask ourselves in life but this:

“What is the real purpose to my life?”

We want our lives to have meaning and direction – we want to believe that all of our hard work mattered in the bigger picture of life.

In other words, we want our lives to count for something – wouldn’t you agree?

Well, I have to tell you…

The most rewarding part of my job is when a client tells me that they want to get their “life” in order because they don’t want their legacy to be full of “stuff” their family can’t make heads or tails out of.

   

They realize that when everything is all said and done,  they want to leave behind something that matters – things that tell a story about their life experience.

Most people want to share these memories with their family and friends in a way that is uncomplicated and simple to follow.

The challenge with this however, is most people never get to clearing out their spaces and putting things in order to leave a proper legacy.

Then of course, their loved ones left behind have to deal with whatever trail is left – trying to make sense of it all.

Of course, this can range from important documents and legal matters to years of family collectibles, etc., which in essence costs excessive time and money and let’s not discount our “energy.”

During Tuesday’s Tel-Class I am going to share with you why it’s so important to get your “stuff” in order and show you how to begin the process that will honor and respect your wishes.

This is going to be a thought provoking class, so please come prepared to take notes and ask questions.

As a single mom with an only child, I can personally vouch that heart strings are eternal.

Watch this video…but I caution you, get some tissues first.

Worry About Today Only

Although my Mom was never big on having “one-on-one” conversations with me, she somehow always managed to share her unspoken thoughts with me in other ways.

I recently came across a clipping that my Mother gave me many years ago from the columnist “Dear Abby.”

I am eternally grateful that even to this day… I can still hear her…just when I need her the most.

It goes like this:

“There are two days in every week that we should not worry about, two days that should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One is yesterday, with its mistakes and cares, its faults and blunders, its aches and pains.  Yesterday has passed, forever beyond our control.

All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday.  We cannot undo a single act we performed.  Nor can we erase a single word we’ve said – yesterday is gone!

The other day we shouldn’t worry about is tomorrow, with it’s impossible adversaries, its burden, its hopeful promise and poor performance.  Tomorrow is beyond our control.

Tomorrow’s sun will rise either in splendor or behind a mask of  clouds – but it will rise.  And until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.

This leaves only one day – today.  Any person can fight the battle of just one day.  It is only when we add the burdens of yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.

It is not the experience of today that drive people mad – it is the remorse of bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Let us therefore, live one day at a time!”

(Amen Mom – Amen.)
