As I approach midlife and the way that time seems to be moving I realize I will get there sooner than I am comfortable with. I thought about if God should take me now, what would be my legacy, to the world, to my children? I thought about what is it that I am most proud of in this minute, as I own these few words. I can safely say I feel somewhat comfortable with the legacy to my children; but alas! I honestly admit, I am not satisfied with my accomplishments to date – to the world; there is much more to be done.

So I now turn the question to you my readers – What is your legacy? Are you satisfied with your accomplishments to date? How did you change the world through your little corner (being you)because that is all it takes. A single impact on one person or one situation can change the world. It sounds rather déjà vu when I write this, because I say it so often, we do not need a big platform to create an impact, and we do not need a big platform to leave an amazing and impactful legacy that will be shared with many. So if you are waiting on the right time or circumstances to start your legacy – stop waiting, begin to see those in need around you, start forgiving immediately, start loving through action and not feelings. Stop waiting and start creating the impact that you know you are more than capable of creating. Start being the best book your children or other young ones will read.

Life is short; time is NOT waiting on you. You can do nothing for time and so time is kind enough to give us opportunities NOW, not in the future, that’is the best that time will do for you. Time says “Now! Today is the best time to start living as if any moment will be your last”. Time says “start that legacy!”.

Let your legacy encompass others and not just your immediate environment. Think “what would I like to be known and remembered for” and begin today. It is a simple matter, let’s not be complex when we can be smart. Make it simple, just do it! I encourage you – Begin today.
Start walking the path to your best life through creating your legacy. Be the awesome person that you were created to be. Better yet, create the most amazing legacy ever, you have what it takes. Begin now.
