"...What it was, I left behind...."
What kind of footprint am I leaving on this earth? How am I making and impact on this world, and more importantly, is that impact positive or negative? We are all going to leave our legacy on this earth. I think it's important to know what that legacy is.
I haven't been on here for a while, because I haven't been inspired in a while. I have been looking for inspiration in all the wrong places, namely, anywhere. Inspiration is something that looks for us. Our only job is to be ready for it. I was out for a run today, and my walkman played this song, which got me thinking about what impact I'm going to have and how important it is for me to know what that is. If I don't know that, how can I possibly move on? For a lot of us, a lot of our fear of death stems from not knowing what comes next, my fear of death stems from not knowing what I did before.
I guess what I'm saying is, instead of always focusing on what we have to look forward to, we need to balance that time with looking back on what we're leaving behind us, and decide whether or not we're proud of that. That is our legacy. We can't guarantee any tomorrows in our story, but it's full of yesterdays.
