One Month to Live: Legacy
We don't like to think about death, but thinking about our inheritance doesn't bother us too much, does it? We like the idea that someone will leave us things, usually things of some great worth. Stocks, bonds, real estate, cars, houses, cash, jewelry- all things that we'd love to receive from our loved ones when they pass on. But how often do we think about what we'll leave behind? That probably bothers us quite a bit more because it causes us to think not only about our death but also about how we're living right now. Then, when we consider what we will really pass on to our loved ones it can get even more uncomfortable. We want to live a life that not only blesses people materially when we are gone but leaves them with something that matters, that is life-changing. Are you living a life of purpose? What is your legacy?
