Legacy

What type of legacy will you leave when you're gone?  Is it one that people can model themselves after and possibly look up to?  However, is it one where people are telling people how not to be like you?  We as people need to make sure that the legacy we leave behind is built with strong fundamentals, positive outlooks, and motivation that could spark generations to come.  It is said in the bible  "The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot".  Proverbs 10:7
Whether you believe in the bible or not it's hard not to allow this to touch you.  We should all be trying to paint a legacy of ourselves in a positive light so that younger generations will have something to build upon with their morals.  We should be trying to feed their brains so that they inherit great ideals who can spark other young minds when they are able to.  Your legacy can touch many for so long if you allow it to.  It's time for us to paint a picture of the legacy we want to leave hanging on our children's wall.  The only way this could be done is to focus on bettering yourself in ways that influence other people, that's what leaders are made of.  When it's all over you want people to remembered as that leader who lead by building his legacy.  Everyday you are here gives you another chance to better yourself and to make right on the responsibility you have as a Man, a Father, and a good Person.  How will your legacy paint itself out, is up to you.
