LEGACY

To leave a legacy behind, you must have a vision and go after it passionately. Legacy is what you are remembered for doing achieving!!!

Nelson Mandela had a vision for equality between the races and he went after it passionately, Bill Gates had a vision to make computer usage easier and he went after it passionately, Mother Theresa had a vision to take care of the poor people and she went after it passionately. These people and so many others pursued their vision despite opposition and today their legacy speaks for them.

No one has control over what's going to happen in the next minute, hour,day or month; the control we have is over what we do, what we say and how we utilize the opportunities that come our way!

So it is my prayer this Sunday the the Lord will give me, and all who desire it, the boldness and the wisdom to do now what needs to be done so that we can begin to leave our footprints in the sands of time!!!

I want to leave behind a legacy that speaks of hope for the hopeless; A legacy that inspires people to rise above their perceived limitations and pursue their goals and desires, that inspires them to make a positive impact in their generation; A legacy that reminds every human that God loves them and created them with gifts and talents that the world needs to see and hear!!!

So today as I listen to Beyonces song 'I was here'  https://vimeo.com/50194613
I pray that at the end of my journey on earth I will be able to sing that song in confidence and truth!!!

I hope you too are inspired to start thinking about the kind of Legacy you want to trail behind you: at your work place, in your family, in your community and in the world @ large!!!
