What Is Legacy?
Legacy means to me that you have the opportunity to leave your mark in the annals of history, and you do that by whatever you’ve been able to accomplish with yourself and your family. I think a lot of families look at other people and don’t see that they have a legacy as well. So you have to start by talking about what you’ve done, what your grandparents have done, and what people in your family have achieved. Watching my daughter continue the legacy is amazing. The legacy transcends myself; it starts with my mother and my father. Seeing her in the same space as I was in, but taking it to another level, brings me much joy.
Additionally, you have to be able to provide opportunities for your children to ensure that whatever path they’re going down, you support that path. Lastly, you have to leave something financially, spiritually, and educationally with your family so that the legacy can continue, and your family and kids have a foundation to build upon what has already started.
