👣 Make Every Day Count: What's Your Legacy?

Hello Reader,

I hope this email finds you well and reflective! 🤔 Over the past few weeks, we’ve discussed decision-making and figuring out our core values. Today, I want to connect these dots and explore something truly profound: your legacy—the mark you’ll leave behind.

​Every choice you make is like leaving a footprint in the sand of your life's journey. These footprints are guided by your values—the things that matter most to you. Over time, they create a path that tells your story, showing others the direction you've taken and the impact you've made.

What kind of path do you want to leave behind? When you make decisions that align with your values, you're not just living for today. You're shaping the story people will remember about you tomorrow, next year, or even decades from now.

So, how do you build a legacy that truly reflects who you want to be? Here are some easy steps to start:

Be Present Treat every interaction as an opportunity to make someone feel seen, heard, and valued.

Choose Kindness It's often the small acts of kindness that people remember most and have the biggest impact. An honest smile, heartfelt advice, a compliment, a listening ear, a helping hand…

Live Authentically Don’t try to be someone you’re not. Being real is one of the most powerful ways to inspire others. When you’re true to yourself, people around you feel more comfortable being themselves too. It's a gift that keeps on giving. Don't stop at 'wishing' to be a certain way – make it happen with your everyday actions.

Make Time for What Matters Spend time nurturing relationships and pursuits that mean the most to you. Incorporate them into your everyday life. Add them to your schedule! These are the building blocks of a meaningful legacy.

Remember, you don't need grand gestures or perfection to leave a lasting impact. The everyday actions, the little things, and the daily choices you make add up over time. Whether standing up for someone, being kind when no one’s watching, or making tough, non-popular decisions—these moments define how we’ll be remembered.

I encourage you to take a moment today to reflect: What values do you want your life to embody? How can your decisions, starting right now, contribute to the legacy you wish to leave?

Let’s make every day count, live out our values, and create a story we’ll be proud to leave behind.

With much appreciation,

🤍 In memory of our beloved niece, Sarah, who left this world suddenly, her life was a beautiful example of living purposefully. Despite her short time with us, she lived a life that could be measured in decades, not years. Her daily acts of kindness, authenticity, and zest for life were a testament to her love for God, her family, and everyone who crossed her path. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy lives on in the countless lives she touched! 🤍
