If you wanted to leave a life of legacy, there are some things that you need to be aware of. Legacy first off, is not something that you can legislate. Legacy is an overflow of a life well lived. When you are gone, what people say about you positively is your legacy.
Today is the day that you need to put some things in perspective so that legacy becomes something that is an offshoot of your life, not something that you have to worry about.
In this episode, I share in summary form, 7 critical pillars of a life of legacy. The other succeeding episodes have already expounded the individual pillars. Listen to this.
There is happiness on one hand and then there is fulfillment on the other. Happiness is fleeting and just on the surface. But that is not to say that it is not important.
Fulfillment is deep, long lasting and it is stuff of legacy. Our pursuits in life should rather be for fulfillment that for happiness. Some people normally say that happiness is a decision. You can decide to be happy regardless of what's happening.
But fulfillment is a result of your life being lived circumspect. That is why a life of legacy is important. What can you do to experience that life? Listen to this.
In his very last speech, Martin Luther King said something very profound. "Longevity is not something that I am concerned about...I just want to do God's will"
He said. "I have been to the mountain top and I have seen the promised land. I might not get there with you, but we as a people, we shall get there".
We celebrate him every year as his legacy is talked about to succeeding generations. What made him have that legacy? There are several things that I have already alluded to in the previous episodes.
Today, we add one more thing that is critical to having a life of legacy. Without this, there is no having a life of legacy. Listen in.
One of the ways to build a life of legacy is to build a life of excellence. They normally tell us that "cleanliness is next to godliness", but I will tell you that "Excellence is godliness".
There is no one in the entire creation that ever create a life of legacy living without excellence. It is not an easy thing to have excellence because it is costly. It will cost you not just an arm and a leg, it will cost you everything.
But that is how you build legacy. Listen to this.
In building a life of legacy, there are some aspects of life that have to be looked at. If you studied big time visionaries that have a life of legacy, you will notice a common denominator around them.
Much as they might not have gone out to specifically create a legacy, you will notice that there are some things that run in their character as they lived that led them to leave a legacy behind.
One of those things is leaning on their uniqueness in life...no one ever created a legacy in life by doing things that did not exemplify their difference. Listen to this.
