Lesson 7

One day she decided to live the legacy she wanted to leave.

 

If I want to leave a legacy of courage,

I have to live the things I believe in wholeheartedly

even if they scare the pants off me.

I also can release the legacy.

I do not have to control it.

I cannot control the choices that other people make,

the thoughts they think,

the beliefs they carry,

or the response of those I love

to my words and actions.

I have the responsibility for how I live.

That living does plant seeds of legacy

that I may or may not see grow to maturity.

I do however, want to know,

that I did my best to live

wholeheartedly

and that my loved ones

know who I am, what I believe,

and how deeply I love them.

I want to be seen by them

and I want them to know that I have taken care

to really see them

and know who they are and support

the following of their own calling.

It take time.

It takes intention.

It takes courage.
