What's going to be your greatest legacy?
I believe everyone is created for a purpose and its our personal responsibility to find what that it. I believe living a life without purpose, is living a life without satisfaction.
My pastor once said something that struck me and I hope it strikes you too. He said "you are not created to earn value, you are created to add value and it's your expression of value that adds value to you". Hummmm I guess that's deep .
I feel Life is more than getting educated, getting a job, getting married and having children. It's more about the value you are adding to humanity.
Its high time we stopped thinking of living a life for ourselves alone, but rather let's start thinking of living a life for others too. That's going to be our greatest legacy.
Oprah Winfrey said in one of her speeches at a schools convocation that "your greatest legacy is every life you have touched".
How many lives have you touched by your words, your actions, attitude and even your smile. Remember we don't have to be as rich as Dangote but we can touch lives in our own little way. Your smile ☺ could be the medicine for somebody, your care could go a long way.
The most essential key to adding value is to discover yourself.

But as true as this is, people (especially in Nigeria) find this too hard to express...Thumbs up

DeleteI believe that if we all live out our callings, this world will be a better place.
ReplyDeleteAnne, that's very true. Let's all make it work by living out our calling. Thanks for always stopping by.
DeleteLet me start by saying that without definition there will be no destination. Every journey begins with definition. Without definition there will be deviation. In every scientific experience the first thing is to write down AIM and OBJECTIVES. Definition is very crucial to your to your destination.
ReplyDeleteYou will never add value to humanity if you have not added value to yourself.
Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. You cannot give what you don't have.
The larger your capacity of value the more life you reach out to. The world has moved from VIP to VAP meaning very important person to value adding personality.
Thanks for your write-up and thanks for adding value to me today.
Wow,this is thrilling. Thanks for the comment. You are very correct, no long VIP but VAP.
