What Will Be Your Legacy?

Author: Robbie

Who do you want to be remembered as?

Imagine you decided to build a house. You collected some material that you thought looked nice and that you thought might be useful for building houses. Out of this material you picked up the pieces that seemed to go well together and you started to build a foundation. You continued to add more pieces that you thought looked useful. The building became higher and higher. After building for about 80 years you became tired and decided to stop building. You sat down to look at what you had accomplished. Unfortunately, although you had devoted your whole life for this building project, the result was more a pile of junk rather than a house. You had never used a plan for your house. You never had an image of the finished house in your head when you started. Because of this no house was created.

Many people use the same “method” when they build their lives. They collect diplomas and experiences that they think “look nice”, and they put these together in ways that seem reasonable and appropriate according to the laws of society. The problem is that if you don’t have a plan of what kind of life you are building, your life will most likely end up as just a pile rather than a castle. Collecting a pile of interesting experiences is fine if you are satisfied with that. However, if you want people to remember you after you leave this life, you will need more than just “a pile”. You will need a clear building that people will be able to recognise.

The Eiffel Tower would be very difficult to recognise if the material it is built with was just put together randomly. Fortunately, the people who built it had a construction plan, and because of this it can now be recognised by people all over the world.

If you want to leave a legacy, you need to decide what that legacy will be. What will your building look like? Who will you be remembered as? If people write books about you, what will they write?

Ones you know what you want the end-product to look like, it will be much easier to make sure that every piece that you add to it on the way will get into the right position. Once you know who you want to be remembered as you can start to think about what to do to become that person.

You Only Have One First

Author: Robbie

Feb 26

Firsts take courage, a positive frame, a willingness to face fears and sometimes a little push to get through the door. There is nothing like the feeling of getting through a first of any kind to give us affirmation that we can do anything.

Let’s look at these ‘firsts’ and see what we can recall - thoughts, feelings, emotions, what the weather was like, what we wore, who was present – almost a visualization exercise. If you have not experienced these firsts, get ready to think about what feelings and emotions are going to pop into your mind by simply reading about them. Face it – these firsts are days that are made for us to live in the moment and overcome our fears.

My First…

…day at school. What was that like? Can you remember elementary school? High School? Or College/university? You were ready to show the whole world who you were, what you were made of and started to plan where you were going to go next. You were excited, apprehensive and even a little happy to be starting this new part of your life.

…my first job interview. What to say? How do I dress? Will I have to work here for the rest of my life? What questions will they ask? Who will be interviewing me? Feeling like you aced the interview and then didn’t get the job or just the opposite, feeling that you really blew it and did get the job – what a learning experience! And who knew you could ask questions in an interview too – next time you will be more prepared for that one.

…date! OMG! Talk about a scary time. To hold hands or not to, what to wear, what to say, how to act? Dates are where you open yourself up to the biggest part of yourself and others. Imagine how you felt. What other event could make you feel this way? Imagine where this first day could lead – to more dates and a huge future together…or to no more dates, chalking this one up to experience.

…day at work! WOW! What a challenge in front of you? Getting to know your boss, your co-workers and maybe even your competition for the next position on the ladder. Whether it was a job at the local corner store or in that big corporate office, you started to take new steps in new directions. You shed the parts of yourself that you were not happy with and vowed to be the BEST You you could possibly be.

There will always be more firsts ahead of you – move to a new home, move to a new city, travel to new place, joining a community or professional group, speaking engagement, presentation – the list could go on forever! Personal growth and development is more urgent today than ever so use this list when a first comes along:

Be prepared: know time, place, date, how to get there, how to dress, why you are experiencing this ‘first’.
Plan your outlook: do you need to practice or rehearse? Do you need to wear something special? Are you in a positive frame of mind to experience the whole situation? Are you ready to be open and potentially meet new people/circumstances that could change your life?
Practice affirmation: no matter what the results, you will always learn something. Look for the positive in the situation. You are taking a huge step in a new direction – Way to go! Be proud of yourself and remind yourself how awesome you really are!

Be on your way to many ‘firsts’ – HAPPY FIRST….
