One part that really "spoke" to me was about Learning, Loving and Legacy. To me it is a prefect mantra and can simplify your life into a doable daily "TO DO" list. I just love lists : )
Here goes... Wake up.
1. Learn something new today. I like to take it a step further and teach someone else something new which keeps the cycle going. I also use it as a game and find it well received by the kids even as young as 2nd grade. I always ask them to teach me something. In doing that I have learned: how to make a better airplane, to sniff cinnamon for sinus trouble, and the difference between an ant eater and an aardvark to mention a few. Kids are smart, we just need to up our expectations.
2. Show love or kindness to someone. Don't just keep this to your family members or close friends, branch out and show kindness to neighbors, people at work you have never spoken to or even someone who is providing you with a service. Do NOT treat people like they are invisible. Being kind is free and something that we all have within us.
3. Think about or put into place a plan for a legacy. Defined as 1. a gift of money or property 2. Anything handed down from the past. Since I am way short on expendable cash I chose to use the second definition! I can't tell you how good it feels to have a plan.
Mine is just beginning but the first step is to guide and inspire my children and the people I know to be their best, enjoy this amazing life and always be aware of their surroundings and the impact of their actions.
