The Effect Of Legacy On Mourning

What's good blog world? This has been a difficult week for the family as we lost a very important figure in our lives, affectionately known as Daddy Bill. His life as such a powerful figure allows me to reflect on my own life and perhaps help influence change in the life of those around me...

'Daddy Bill' will always be known for his commitment to our church and to our family and to me that is as honorable of a legacy that a person could leave. He constantly reminded us of the hard work that encompassed his life from his youth and simply tried to instill as much in our lives. Many people believe that they have to forcibly change the lives of those around them in order to be effective but a positive message and example serves a much greater purpose. The question I want to ask is how are we going to be remembered?...

At times, our generation is always criticized because we don't have the martyrs that were present in other generations but I believe that in time ours will arise just the same. Understand that you don't have to change the entire world to make your legacy but begin to make conscious efforts to have those around you remembering you in a positive way. Stop simply blaming it on your youth for your mistakes. While youthfulness can be accredited for mistakes, it cannot simply be used as a crutch. Always attempt to make your next decision your best decision and the grandest one that you have made. No one knows when their number will be called and they have to leave this Earth so preparations should already to be made for your life to be as glorious in the eyes of those around you as possible...

In the same way that you want to be remembered as positive as possible when you die, let's stop waiting to show our appreciation after we lose something. It takes no time and no true effort to simply show our appreciation for those that help us in our development. Being gracious and respectful in our endeavors make more people want to help us, so show respect and love to those in your life and it will be reciprocated to you. The domino effect of love can not be denied. The same time used for conflict is time that can be instead used for development, growth, love, and humanitarianism. You don't want to be remembered as a person on the verge of becoming a good person. It is much more fulfilling to be remembered as a changed person on the verge of changing the world one small step at a time....
