How Will You Be Remembered?

As time goes on, I think we all are more apt to evaluate the difference we have made to those around us and for some, even globally. There is no doubt that we will have an impact on the world. The question is… “What will we leave behind?”

For this era, iconic movies like “Rocky” have definitely made their mark in the world. Who can forget the story of the underdog that rises to the top through sheer tenacity. Watching the years go by, we can reflect on how this series for instance has paved a way for the next generation…specifically in the new focus on “Creed”.

It is not surprising that as we think about it, there is no real focus on Adonis Creed without the backstory of the father Apollo Creed and who was the first major contender and character in the Rocky franchise. Everything stems from the story and the journey of Rocky that helps develop our understanding and connection with Adonis.

As of this writing, Creed III focuses on Adonis’ past which helps us understand the impact our lives can have on others.

As we personalize his story and who we can connect with it, we can reflect on our own lives and the decisions we make that have shaped us to become who we are today. We can further consider what impact or footprint we have left on others. Our story can make such an incredible difference to the people that hear or read about it. I would have you consider the phenomenal stories that are in this publication...but taking it one step further, even the story behind the story.

Like the “Butterfly Effect ‘’ where it was surmised that even the flapping of the butterfly’s wings affects the world, we can probably consider how our life has made a difference. I encourage you to think about your personal life and also take some time to reflect on the people that have made a significant positive impact on who you are today and think about the positive difference you can make for those that know your story.

How do you want to be remembered and what legacy will you leave? As you read about the people in this publication, think about what could be written about you. The real exciting opportunity today is that if we are able to read this today then we have a chance to help tell our own story the way we want it told. Take nothing for granted, value every moment, and be grateful for our time here on earth. If you haven’t already, my hope is that you are able to understand the influence and impact you can have on those around you… especially your friends, family, and the future generation.Tell your story… write it down…and share it with the world. I have so many great memories of my own family, Dad and Mom, and have been blessed beyond imagination. I am excited to launch our new book series LiveYourBestLegacy.com with my book creation partner Natalie McQueen to help people be able to collaborate to get their story told. I have been so blessed to be a part of Elite Publications and to be associated with the founder Grand Master Jessie Bowen who has been living his dream to provide the conduit for people to become best selling authors to be an inspiration to others.

Remember…

“Never forget where you come from, and live your life to where you want to get to.”

Here is to a great life of love, positive impact, and making history. If you have a story you are ready to tell, I would love to hear from you.
