how will they remember you?

life is so short...
yet so purposeful. 
so little time...

yet so much to accomplish.

so make every second worthy of a legacy...

You will be remembered for what you do.  Your actions will define your legacy.  A life full of self centered acts will accomplish nothing.  Actions that are committed to others is worthy of remembrance.  Being devoted to doing selfless deeds will surely be significantly effective in other people’s lives.  The exertions you do for individuals may not always gain praise or recognition,  that’s where characteristics of humility and patience  begin to take place.  These qualities are not achieved over night, they take time and devotion.  Practice makes perfect.  The only way to start is by making the decision. The decision to give all you have for the profit of others.  Any little act of kindness and compassion could spark a life to regenerate into something beautiful.  All we have to do is be willing.  We all are on this earth for a reason, I believe that reason is to do God's will and give Him glory.  We just have to realize our God given abilities, then use them to praise God and fulfill our purpose.  We must step up and serve with all we have, try our hardest, and give the credit to God.  Not everything will be easy, but in the end the reward will be worth more than the cost.

purpose.

where is it.

We might attempt to find purpose in our popularity, amount of friends, money, power, skills, jobs, and possessions.  Does any of that fulfill true purpose?  When you move on to a new stage of life, and all your past seems like a blink of the eye.  How will your life illuminate?  What will your co-workers, students, peers, elders, family, and friends think of you?  How will they remember you?  Will they remember how "cool" you were? How many possessions you had?  I don’t think so.  I recently read something similar to this...  When someone is on their deathbed, staring their demise in the face.  Life is on its last legs and could end anytime.  What do those people want to be surrounded with?  Not their collection of dvd’s, or money, or game systems, or any object for that matter.  They want people.  They want genuine friends and family members.  So in the end does it really matter how much “stuff” you have?  Or will it matter how you treat people, and what you do for people?  At the end of your life, people will look back and observe what you did.  What will they discover that defines you?  Will they find that it’s worth it to be by your side in the end?
