Wayne Dyer, a pioneer in the self-help field and great spiritual teacher passed away suddenly over the weekend. He was I was shocked when I read the post on Facebook from his family that said he was no longer with us. He was a bright light in the world, and you could say his legacy was love. Love for ourselves, love for one another and love for this life. He taught us that through connecting and living with our hearts, we can create heaven on earth. I sit here, in my year-old body, in good health, and the tomorrows feel like they stretch as far as I can see.
When you look back at the end of your life, if you are given the chance, and assess what you have done with the moments, the days, the weeks and the years, will you be proud of yourself? Or will you have regrets? Or what would you have been incredibly proud of trying? For me, they are big questions that help to cut through the daily chaos of life and provide a sense of clarity.
If I get to the end of my life and realize that I played it safe because I was too afraid to fail, I would be mad at myself. The only way we know if life has a chance of moving in a certain direction is if we are daring enough to take the risk. I will hope that at the end of my days my children feel like they got a good mum. Her communication skills were close to zero. Your legacy is an entirely different thing. Pay attention to the way you relate and inspire others today.
Is it not? However, that care is one of the most beautiful traits of a human being even though comes, partially out of vanity. I can give you many examples of people that are and will be named for generations to come for all the wrong reasons.
However, there are so many people that, perhaps, you have never heard their name, and yet, you are the beneficiary of their legacy ; and at the end, that is all it matters.
How is your legacy making the world a better place for future generations? A grandparent, for example, can leave an extraordinary legacy that inspires generations just by accomplishing many ordinary things. Do you enjoy spending your days in front of the TV? You might regret that on your dying bed; but, hey!
This is how we change for the better. What do you need to do in order to create that event that we just brainstormed, or begin your journey toward it? If you, for example, wished to inspire health in your family, how could you begin to get healthy so you can start setting that example? Begin eating a whole foods diet, rich with different types of vegetables, fruits and fish. Showing them by example is a great way to teach without pushing too hard.
When asked, feel free to explain the benefits of drinking 10 cups of water a day! Those people that left legacies that you admire: what actions did they take that affect you today? What actions can you take to inspire people in the same way? List anything and everything that comes to mind. This list will serve as a base to draw from. Some actions will appeal to you more than others, and some will inspire other actions in you.
I no longer want to be that sad story of a troubled star that eventually got eaten up by the industry, but did some good work while I was in it. I want to be that story of the shooting star that, against all odds, broke through the haze, shot through the darkness, and made the world a brighter place.
I am just like you. Like you, I have the potential to achieve great things, and I am daring to do it all. Now I dare you to do the same. Dare to share! In the comments below, tell me what you are aiming to achieve in this lifetime and beyond.
Post it. Make it real. I have received some truly priceless feedback to point Strong Inside Out in the right direction. Thank you! Well, I am! You can follow me there for near-daily inspiration, workout ideas, and random tidbits of happiness such as a chart of Darth Vader Yoga.
Check out my boards by clicking here! Love this post! I love this, Kimberly! Good call, J. Going through divorce, financial struggles and bankruptcy, job loss, entrepreneurship, moving to a new state—all challenging—all tested me in ways I never could have imagined.
I came out the other side stronger than ever before, and I will again when the next challenge pops up. I want to remind people not to think about how you will find the strength; instead, just keep moving and the strength will come.
Looking at what I have taken in from others and also what I have learned from my own experiences has been a powerful exploration of who I am and what I hope to leave behind. And I realized that in order to be that example, in order to pass on these beliefs and values, I have to live them consciously, right now. It offers a concrete sense of purpose in choosing what I am giving my energy to.
And the whole concept of legacy can be a deeply powerful way of connecting with others. Looking at your roots, ancestral, blood family, cultural, spiritual, or whatever avenue you choose to explore, connects you to those who have gone before you. Planning the legacy you are leaving behind connects you to those whose lives you touch, and that they touch, and so on, potentially for generations to come.
I encourage you to take some time and really look at the things you carry on from past generations. See what you need to leave behind, as well as, what you want to carry forward.
