DSA President Joe Mariano | Living Team NationalLiving Team National . . . Napoleon (1769 - 1821) rightly declared, "Leaders are dealers in hope."
I've thought a lot about those words and the type of leader I want to be. What do I want people to say about me when I leave this life? What will be my legacy?
Paul J. Meyer, whom many consider to be "the founder of the personal development industry" pretty-well sums it up, saying, "When all is said and done, each of us will leave only 4 things behind:
1. Memories - thoughts that others have of us
2. Souvenirs - proof of our existence
3. Trophies - records of our achievements
4. Legacies - everything you are and possess today
"Eventually, memories will fade and souvenirs and trophies will be lost, stolen, or sold at garage sales. Only your legacy will remain."
Admittedly, preparing a good legacy will take time and money . . . but don't let that stop you! Sometime in 2012, I began suggesting to everyone who would listen, four steps toward building a positive, lasting legacy . . . I'd like to offer these to you without comment:
4 Steps To A Positive Legacy
1. Be more . . . .
2. Do more . . . .
3. Have more . . . .
4. Give more . . . .
That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it! If you would like to find out how I'm going about fulfilling my legacy . . . better yet, how you can build your positive legacy, let's connect on LinkedIn/Sid Richard Morris, or e-mail me at goodtogo2004@msn.com - Subject line Build my Legacy. SRM
