Legacy

Merriam-Webster: something that happened in the past or that comes from someone in the past

Quintessential Voyage: lasting impression or impact that a person leaves behind long after their physical presence has ended

You should make an impact, a legacy. Your decisions should lead to something lasting. When you leave a company, they should remember you for years to come. When you meet someone, they should be able to remember your name. Whatever you may do, make sure it's noteworthy. 

To me a legacy means something epic that people remember for a good stretch of time. I advocate for you to do epic things, build great stories, and become a legend within your own sense. Never settle to be ordinary, dare to be great.

Create yourself and then create your legacy.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

Joshua 1:9 NLV

This may turn some of my regular readers off but it may also spark some thought for others. A first time that I have written about Christian scripture on here,  this is not the first time I've used it for personal inspiration. 

This verse may be taken quite literally. God has commanded you to be strong and steadfast on your feet. You should not be afraid of what's next or of what will come. You should never become discouraged from your dreams or goals. There is a force backing you, whether it be the wind your sails, the voice in your mind and your gut, or even the sunshine peeking through a bedroom window. There are forces at work beyond our comprehension, I believe they are there to help you if you're willing to believe and enable in these forces. 

For you it may be Buddha or Jesus or Shiva or whoever, for me it's God (Protestant Christian) that I believe in. In addition to something greater, you should believe in yourself and your capabilities because i guarantee that you are greater than you give yourself credit for.

Go forth, be courageous, achieve greatly.

Freestyle Prose

Sometimes life puts you in a predicament,

You feel like you're not where you're meant,

The things you've received so far 

Are not really meant to keep you where you are.

Sustaining your hunger is a continual chore,

Where this will take you, you're not so sure,

Your vision fades with the passing of days,

The direction is shifting and moving like ocean waves.

Cross your heart, hope to die,

You promised to never tell yourself a lie,

Increase your courage within your heart,

You're not so weak as you were at the start.

In your heart, reserve some compassion,

Your companions, their hope for you is not lackin',

Love yourself and who you've become,

The journey of your success, just begun.

Patience continues and may wear thin,

It's about the daily work you put in,

Continue on your odyssey,

Your victory is guaranteed,

That is if you tell yourself it will be.
