Since apart of life and death is living consider that you will by no choice of your own Leave Behind a Legacy. Be it one of money, love & respect or pain & suffering. To me the most important people affected by a Left Behind Legacy are our children and those whose paths we must cross; what will your children, your family, your friends or that one stranger you encountered say about how they appreciated you, what you meant to them, how you inspired them or how badly you treated them?
Your Left Behind Legacy is more that mere money or property that one may acquire, it's what you freely yet unconditionally give of your heart & soul; be that abundant love or hatred of any sort.
You must chose to have values that you live according to your purpose in life. You must live what you expect to see come forth from those you affect or path you cross. as long as you live to see another day it's never to late to change who you are as a person and how that person can or will affect persons to come. See that Left Behind Legacy will affect someONE that will affect someONE else who will affect or infect OTHERS, get the picture?
If you died today, what three things would you want people to say about you? If not one of those things can be said when you finish reading this then began to change that right now. I realize it isn't a pleasant thought but it's worth thinking about because it's reality and remember by no choice of your own you will have a LEFT BEHIND LEGACY!
