Legacies of the Heart: Living a Life that Matters
Legacy’s impact begins at birth when we link to an endless chain, receiving from those who’ve gone before us even as we turn to impact lives that follow ours. We’re hard wired to find meaning in our lives and legacies, and as we shape them through our actions and in the quality of our relationships, who doesn’t hunger to feel we’ve make a positive difference; that some evidence we mattered will endure?
Indeed, as end-of-life professionals have noted, people on their deathbeds people almost universally ask three legacy questions:
Have I given and received love?
Have I lived my life instead of someone else's?
Have I left the world a little better than I found it?
Please don't wait for your deathbed to ask these questions and to be intentional about the many legacies you inevitably leave!
