A few weeks ago, I spent some time stacking building blocks with Angelina. The concentration, dedication and pride she put into this simple activity amazed me.
The joy she felt when she successfully managed to add another piece was easily portrayed on her face. She clapped happily and laughed at her success.
She eagerly pointed out her masterpiece to others, expressing pride in her work.
Angelina did more than just stacking blocks. She built something she was proud of. Something that brought her joy, and something that she wanted to share with others. Each of us, no matter age, gender, culture or lifestyle are all building something too: a legacy.
A legacy is something that is past down to others, whether to future generations, or future CEO's a legacy is something WORTH passing to another person. A legacy of love, of hope. A legacy of virtue and honor, of integrity.
We should all be thinking about what we want to leave behind in this world, because contrary to others beliefs, we all pass on something to someone when we leave this world. Leave a legacy you can be happy about, something you are proud of, something that makes you happy and something that you want to share with others. Like Angelina find joy in building a legacy; and build a legacy worth leaving behind.
