Purpose and legacy (video)

Your time and opportunities are not limitless and you should grab them when they are presented to you.

I hate to tell you this but you won't live forever and you're probably not going to come back again.

Your time and opportunities are not limitless and you should grab them when they are presented to you.

Because of this, having a purpose and a fulfilling legacy should be looked at as two separate things.

Your purpose is part of your legacy, it can be central to the story, but is only a portion of it. You see history is littered with people that only followed their purpose and then created havoc in other areas of their life such as family, money, relationships and love because they ignored the rest in pursuit of their individual summit.

So let's start with PURPOSE which keeps you focused on why you exist.

It is often something people really grapple with as it can be confronting and confusing and If you have no idea where to start that’s ok, we can begin to form a narrow this down by answering these 6 questions.

So write down in relation to your life and the things that you do:

⚡What do you have no mastery but a deep passion for?

⚡What do you have a deep mastery in and are passionate about?

⚡What do you have a mastery in and no passion for?

⚡ What do you have no mastery in and no passion for?

Then ask yourself of these things, can I make a living doing this? Can I pay the bills and create a sustainable life by focusing on this as my purpose?

Then lastly but importantly is this thing common in the world can I be a thought leader and key figure?

Now you have an outline and you know where to start exploring to find your purpose but for LEGACY we need to find fulfilment.

So Legacy that big theme that is purely us your legacy is not a single part of your life it's the pages you are writing every single day.

Your legacy is made up of the entire thread that binds it all together which is you, the qualities you live by and what you create and the fingerprint that you leave on the earth for those that come next.

The challenge with legacy is people often immediately think of the end of the book instead of what can still be written. Think of it this way you're the main character which is of course played by you and you have the chance to redeem yourself and become the hero the beloved character.

But I don't mean for this to be just massive or iconic. Grand should not be the focus when thinking of legacy.

Because it is not one single scene or one chapter:

• it's a way of living everyday
• it's a way of loving
• it's a way of giving
• it's a way of communicating and listening
• it's how you make people feel when you are no longer in the room.
• It's about giving your best and being present living with love and care
• it's about living with courage and kindness and confidence.

If your legacy is about being the best parent you can, what are you doing to write that story everyday?

If legacy is about your community and making change then how are you shaping that tale?

Your legacy is about fulfillment not just just happiness and here is the kicker... It's about finding it in the present moment it's about being in the here and now and not getting caught up in the future.

But that is a discussion for another time.

Thank you again for joining me as I look impact 1 million lives by 2025.

Until next time be safe, be well.

Bye for now. 🙏⚡🌏
