Legacy!
The Best Version of Yourself is Your Legacy…Take Time to Cultivate You
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.
~Rumi
My childhood fantasy was making the world a better plan by helping out in any way I can. I delved into doing just that and volunteered greatly in humanitarian organizations. Yes, I derived fulfillment but my self-doubt always crept in. I was changing others, but not myself.
I realized that true achievement and happiness start with you. Looking inward and finding that part of you that aches and harmonizing with it.
Then, the quest for self-awareness began. Focusing on myself, I came to the revelation that making yourself happy is one of the greatest achievements in life.
Helping others is great but make yourself a priority, for your life is your legacy.
Changing the world starts with you. It entails cultivating yourself, learning from life, and being the best version of yourself. Use life lessons to mentor others…you never know the ripple effect of your actions. Act loving and honorable, with compassion.
