Are you "Living a Life" and "Leaving a Legacy"?

Live in Balanced Abundance

Part of living balanced is making the decision to do so. Everyone is bombarded with opportunities to take all of our time but we must make the decision to accept which of those “demands” that come our way.

What I share with you will be small and little things you can do; because, small things built on each other as a routine become habits and habits are well, habitual.

Start today, or plan and do this tomorrow and every day from this point onward, by making a list of things you want to accomplish today. I can already hear you saying, “Ter, this is nothing new”. I know that, but are you doing this and are you doing this every morning or even better yet, the night before; or even the week before?

Later, I’ll explain how to “refine” this list making it more specific and easier to execute but for now I want you to list just do a few things in just two areas.

My name is Terry (Ter) Scott and I am T.H.E. Life & Legacy Coach™. What I will share with you here is not only something I take very seriously and teach my clients to do, but it is something that I practice myself. I use this to track whether or not, I am living in balance in both “Living a life” and “Leaving a Legacy”.

In the morning, I ask myself “What actions will be in the area of living my life today”? and “What actions will I do to leave a legacy today?” I list three in each of these two areas.

When you understand your purpose, and what kind of legacy you want to leave this world, these are easy “fill in the blank” answers. They don’t have to be “big” drawn out battles, just whatever comes to your mind. Living a life might be just visiting your mom or going to your job; but write three things down in the “Living a life” area.

In the “Leaving a legacy” area, write three things you’ll do today that if you could hear people talk about you at your funeral you might want to hear them say; and the things you want them to remember you by. Some people think that leaving a legacy is just money, but it is also memories.

Record both in a “journal” so you’ll look back over time (and your children or others may be able to refer to it after you pass). Also, write this on a 3 x 5 card.

After you’ve written at least three things in both categories, go about your day. Refer to your 3 x 5 card throughout your day.

Now, this evening sometime take out your 3 x 5 card and reflect on your day. In your journal check off or “rate” how well you did in all six areas. Ask yourself, “Did I live my life today?” and “Did I leave a legacy?” 

Remember, everyone will leave a legacy. Is it the one you want to leave?
