What Kind Of Legacy Are You Creating?

As people focused on being the best we can be and in helping others we are always working on ourselves. To be the best we can be. I’ve heard about living my life so that my eulogy is one that I will feel proud of rather than one which reflects everything except the things I wished I’d have done but put off until later only to find that later never came. Another way of looking at this is to ask the question, “What kind of legacy am I going to leave long after I am gone?” This is what people remember you by and lives on beyond the life you lived, so it relates very closely to what might be reflected by an accurate eulogy.

One thing that struck me profoundly today as I saw my spiritual leader leaving our congregation after having served admirably for 5 years is what was said by another congregant. He said something like, “For the past 5 years you have done a terrific job and you leave a great legacy in the people of this congregation as a result of the work you did during your service here.” Hearing this struck a chord with me because whenever I’ve thought about leaving a legacy I think about it in regards to my whole life or the whole life of a person the question is applicable to. But today I saw it in a block of time like a 5 year “life” chunk. Just think … you could leave a legacy in a reasonably short time period when compared to the overall scheme of things like my spiritual leader did.

Maybe you have already created a legacy you can be proud of, or maybe not. If not, you don’t need a whole life time to do so, there’s no minimum or maximum amount of time required to find and deliver on something that positively reflects who you are and what you’re all about resulting in a legacy. Why not make a life changing decision today to complete your positive legacy that you desire to achieve? You could start something that will live on after you are gone and look to more accomplishments of this type if you like. I challenge you to make at least one big something big, so you can enjoy the benefit of having done so rather than die with the music still in you and possibly regretting what you didn’t get done.

Thanks and until next time. Believe Yourself To Success because Belief Equals Possibility.

You can do it,

Making It Happen – A Dream

Hello Folks,

I hope you’ve had an opportunity to feel what it feels like when you have a dream and you find yourself one step closer to reaching it. I had just that feeling within the last 24 hours because I completed a significant goal in my life.

As you may know, I’ve been working to provide you with the best possible experience in helping you to reach your goals. Well, one way of doing that is to show you that I’m doing my part and here’s a great post to explain it a bit.

The following clip is my official entry into the List Building Club Spokesperson contest. The winner will drive away in a 2002 Ferrari 360 Spider previously owned by 3 of the worlds most successful online marketers. I’m a current member studying under Tellman’s organization and have grown in many ways under Tellmans leadership. I encourage everyone to keep their dreams alive and to never give up!

Warm Regards,

Kevin

My 12 year old Daughter came across this most moving and inspirational story I’m going to share with you now. Unfortunately, I don’t know the author of the story, so I can’t give them credit. Here it goes:

My Name is Rose

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder.

I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

She said, ‘Hi handsome. My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?’

I laughed and enthusiastically responded, ‘Of course you may!’ and she gave me a giant squeeze.

‘Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?’ I asked.

She jokingly replied, ‘I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, and have a couple of kids…’

‘No seriously,’ I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

‘I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!’ she told me.

After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake.

We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this ‘time machine’ as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.

Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went… She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I’ll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.

Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, ‘I’m sorry I’m so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I’ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.’

As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, ‘ We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.

There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die.

We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it!

There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.

If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight.

Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets.

The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.’

She concluded her speech by courageously singing ‘The Rose.’

She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.

One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possibly be.
REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a Living by what we get. We make a Life by what we give.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage. If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

‘Good friends are like stars…. ….You don’t always see them, but you know they are always there.’

Goals, Goals, Goals

As some of you know, I’ve been working on myself for over 17 years and I’ve heard about goals and how important they are and so on. I even try to employ them. However, if you are like me where you start utilizing goals and then find yourself not doing it after some period of time, then I know how you feel. I find that when I’m writing monthly goals I get more done and when I don’t I even feel guilty about not doing so. I say to myself and sometimes others, “I need to write some new goals for this month.” Even doing this doesn’t bring forth those great intentions. Recently a friend of mine shared with me an article written by one of my favorite self-help author and speaker Brian Tracy called “Activating Your Success Mechanism” (http://www.wcool.com/religion/goals.html) and I got a new sense of excitement and enthusiasm towards goal setting.

Brian goes deeper into the value of setting goals, why we should set them and how to make them than I recall anyone else ever doing. I highly recommend this article and find from the ideas presented, additional points can be pondered, making Brian’s document an opening to even more conversation in this area. So I might be referring back to this article a couple of more times in the future.

Brian says, “One point that all motivational teachers agree upon is that every peak-performing man or woman is an obsessive goal setter.” Just from that opening article sentence we get a sense of the importance of goal setting. For me and most likely for you too, or you wouldn’t be reading this right now, I want to be the best I can be and live at my peak performance. You may already know as I do that Brian Tracy is a reputable resource when it comes to topics like goal setting. So his credibility is extremely high and as a result I begin to think to myself that I had better be a goal setter if I am to reach my desire of living my life at peak performance. As I mentioned before I have set goals for myself off and on over my life, but not consistently. This provides a conflict in what I want and what I do. I would say this is an awaking to make some changes in my life so that I can become better, which will accelerate my journey to reaching my goals.

Writing goals is really not a hard thing to do and it doesn’t take much time. In addition, doing so is fun to do. So why don’t we do it in a regular manner? Have you ever tried it?

My focus is providing quality content to my readers like you and sharing my website with others so they can benefit from the materials too. In doing so, I have created a press release announcing the beginning of this website (http://beliefequalspossibility.com). In having accomplished this task, soon to be completed, I did not write down my goal to accomplish this. Interestingly, I felt that it took longer to complete than it should have. I believe that had I properly written my goals to complete this work I would have finished it sooner and “known” how to feel about it, because when you have a goal, you know if you are on track or not. Without goals, you have no idea. You may think you are on track or not, but either way you don’t know. So I believe having goals provides an extra benefit by helping you to determine and track your project progress.

My next project that I have already begun is to create a self-help giveaway to my current subscribers and to attract new ones. Prior to reading Brian’s article on goal setting I made a plan of action so I could determine what steps needed to be accomplished in order for me to meet my goal of having or being in a self-help giveaway. While I read the article, I wrote the goal down of having achieved being involved in a self-help giveaway. Now I need to add the level of detail that Brian talks about in the article to assist in making this project the best it can be and determine if I am on track or not. I am under a 30 day deadline, so I’ll set my activity goals to match that timeline. It will be interesting to see how it goes, but one thing is for sure, I have a HUGE advantage of making my goal on time by having done this exercise. And to me, this is the most important goal for me at this moment, so completing it on-time will be a BIG boost in my “feeling good” bucket.

I encourage you to do the same by setting one goal, mapping it out, and placing a deadline in getting it done. Let’s see what you can accomplish. I look forward to sharing mine with you and hearing about yours. Thank you and G-d bless.
