Living life backwards

We are often reminded to begin with the end in mind. If you were to think about the impression that you would want to leave when you die, what would that be? Would you want to be remembered for your generosity, your charitable deeds, or your ability to mobilize people to work together as a community? With that legacy, how would you be living your life today to achieve it? Think of the actions you would be taking at this moment. You could be participating in a fund raising event or volunteering to visit someone in an assisted living facility. It would be any step that would take you in the direction of what you want to be remembered for. Ask yourself, "How do I want to show up today that reflects what my purpose is in life?" The writing of this daily blog is one action that I take to make a positive difference in the lives of others. I also volunteer on a committee that is dedicated to maintaining clean drinking water in our state and eventually on the planet. These actions don't have to be accompanied by great fanfare. They are the choices I make to give as well as to receive. What are you doing to live life backwards today?
