What have you done today to contribute to the meaningful legacy that you are leaving behind?
What path is your team paving for those who will follow in the future?
Do
you know what legacy your organization wants to be know for? How can
understanding this help you contribute to the excellence of the
organization?
WOW! Powerful message for a Friday.I looked at the child in the picture, concentrating so intensely on that sparkler. The symbolism here is not wasted. Each of us, in the big picture of life, has the power to make an impact on someone or something. It's not hard, and I think it's taken for granted most times. Ever step we take, every word that comes from our voice, is making an impact on something or someone.
Creating a legacy is not a lifelong plan, you don't have to conscientiously make those efforts. Of course you can, but you'll be overlooking the everyday actions that say more about who we are and what we do. These are the things that truly make an impression on people, and what they take away. In less time than it takes for the sparkler to go out, you have started your legacy.
Students watch everything thing we do, every where we go, like it or not. In the hallways at school, at the grocery store or gas station, at a restaurant, we are leaving a legacy. So in a blink of an eye, say that positive or inspiring word, give a smile to everyone you see, use Please and Thank You every time, set the expectations of your students high, support and guide them, hold them accountable, celebrate with them each time they achieve a milestone, be a shoulder to lean on during struggles, and make sure they always know you support them, you care for them, that you have their back. Make that your legacy.
Go out today and start creating the legacy you want to leave behind.
