It is not too often that many of us consider the legacy we will leave and if we do consider the concept even for a moment we usually consider it in the context of after we have left this world.

Let me pose another view point for you. How many times have you thought of someone after you have left their presence? Has that thought been positive or negative? Do the thoughts you have around that person inspire you to keep in touch with them or to carve a wide berth around them… that is their legacy – it is a testimony of who they are and what they have left behind.

So I ask you to consider, what legacy are you leaving behind in each of your daily interactions? Is it positive? Are you inspiring people to become better within themselves? Are you in their thoughts as someone who they would want to call on a personal level or even a business level?

Consider these points carefully; our legacy is left long before we leave this earth once and for all. Consider how you communicate with the people in your lives as discussed in the previous two blogs. Consider how you present yourself both business and personal.

Always remember: Unlike the ripple in the pond the effects of your actions last long after you are gone, whether in presence or in permanence.
