Your Legacy. This year is the big 50 for me and many of my awesome friends. So, for my friends turning half a century old, science has just confirmed that 50 is the new 20. Well, my science, lol. What this great era in life seems to bring, is the gift of wisdom. When we get to look back on our lives from this vantage point, we can see where our road has shaped us through both adversity and love. We get to see how we responded to things then, and how we hopefully have grown and learned to be more guided by a higher knowing and purpose. Never regret your past my friends. It may not have been all rainbows and unicorns, but it has brought to you a very unique perspective, and probably just what you came here to learn and experience. The gift of 50 also brings with it a very natural inner desire to live the rest of your life with more purpose and a more generous spirit. This is called the legacy building phase of the human experience, or the afternoon of our lives. I believe it is in our DNA. This desire tells us to leave behind a beautiful, permanent imprint on this temporary visit. What this imprint looks like is up to you, and it will be your legacy. Family, friends, and Mother Earth will hold your memory in great stead, when you decide to live the rest of your life intentionally creating a beautiful legacy. This is also a great reason to live well and give well. In other words, what to you want to be remembered for? Do you want to be remembered as overbearing, domineering, angry at the world, fearful, anxious, punishing, judgemental, violent, unforgiving, envious, greedy, lying, cheating, lacking or less than you could have been??? I think not. But these are some of the lower choices on the menu of our human experience that we get caught up in, and sometimes live our entire lives from. The way to create a lasting, loving legacy, is to simply give your best from this point forward. Discard the crappy part of the menu and only serve the healthy, life giving selections. These menu items are the ones everyone loves and needs. You already know what they are, you just need to keep them in focus and become the very energy of each. Love in all things includes the energies (gifts) of compassion, understanding, forgiveness, happiness, joy, laughter, intimacy, grace, empathy, peace, kindness, generosity, prosperity, great health and well being, creativity, optimism, support, guidance, goals and dreams, passion, purpose, a grateful heart and a mastered mind. These are all the ingredients for an amazing legacy. Your legacy leaves beautiful light behind as your memory. This light will be so bright that it will continue to guide others forward in their own journeys. It is part of our purpose to prosper each other in such a way. Living in this mind state helps to guide your every thought and decision and brings to YOU, a life well lived. So today, wherever you are on your personal journey, choose to look at the legacy you are building right now. If its a bit off course, no worries. You have the power to redirect your path at any time. That time is ALWAYS in the present moment. This very moment, where ALL your power lies. Choosing to live from the perspective of leaving a beautiful imprint on this temporary trip, is not only worthwhile, but it is the very path of true living and a beautiful life. Give what you want to be remembered for and discard the unnecessary. Have a great day in the lab that is you.
