Your Legacy

Thank you to my amazing Office Manager, Jessica for sharing this one with us in our morning meeting.

Too often we (myself included) focus on our “success.”

We want to achieve, to hit big goals, to overcome setbacks.

That is all perfectly fine, but what matters most is what we leave behind.

“Carve your name on hearts, not tombstones. A legacy is etched into the minds of others and the stories they share about you.”
― Shannon Alder

When we leave this Earth (and believe me, none of us are getting out of here alive :), we will not be remembered for our accolades but instead for the impact we leave on others.

A bonus to all of this, is that when you seek to help others feel good, to be kind, to be caring, to be friendly, to lend a helping hand, you in turn feel better as well (exponentially in fact).

So strive to reach your goals, most definitely.

But along the way, focus more on the people who’s lives you get to touch, that impact may be much more profound than you think!

Happy Tuesday, my friends!

Your passion

Simon Sinek is spot on!

I truly hope you all have a job that you love. I truly hope you are passionate about your vocation, hobbies, lifestyle, etc.

But don’t let what you DO define WHO you are.

If you love your job, it is because it resonates with your soul.

Your satisfaction comes from the combining your purpose with your activities.

Your vocation doesn’t fuel you.

Your soul is your inspiration. Your purpose precedes your vocation.

If you are struggling at work or in some area of your life right now, get back to your source, your passion, your why.

Take some time to explore that, to stoke those fires and you will see that all else improves as well 🙂

Have an amazing Thursday!

Uncertainty

scotland

Jessica contributed this wonderful piece from the Daily OM newsletter today.

“Challenge and experience are what life is truly about, and if we allow ourselves to live tentatively, we will be missing out on a wealth of encounters. So today allow yourself to live fully, teach yourself to appreciate the uncertainty as a time of unlimited possibilities, indulge yourself in the suspense of life and let the surprises of your own story unfurl before you.”

I love this!

uncertainty = unlimited possibilities!

Have an amazing Tuesday!
