October 23, 2024: MAKE IT A GOOD ONE!
"My life is my message." ⁃ Mahatma Gandhi
Whatever worthwhile thing you can make of your life is going to last throughout the ages. I hope that you are willing to work as hard as you can to build your life story so that you will be remembered the way you want to be remembered. We have all heard the stories of some of those who came before us. Some stories were uplifting, inspirational and motivating. Some stories were anything but inspirational. In fact, some left us wondering how did that person manage to do so little with the time they had. When we hear the stories of an uncle who was an inventor, we kind of swell with pride, knowing that someone who came before us was creative, curious and did well. Alternatively, it can be a little bit of a downer when we learn that one of our first cousins or aunts or uncles was a scoundrel who caused nothing but trouble during their life. Whether it was the scoundrel or the inventor, each of them were writing the story of their life every day of their life. You and I are doing exactly the same thing. We are either writing a story worth telling to future generations, or writing one that will be better left untold to future generations. Fortunately, we get to choose which story we want to write. That choice is made every day as we make plans to be productive or not. As we decide to venture out and try new things, or not. Our legacies can be so awesome if we will just make the most of what the Creator gave us to work with. I don't have to be the strongest or the fastest, I just have to be the best I can be and that's something that each one of us can do. It's your story, so make it a good one!
