You and I have only one life to live and we are the ones who determine just what we make of it and the legacy we leave behind. Even for the persons that believe in reincarnation they do return in the same form when they are reincarnated so it remain one life to make an impact and leave something behind. Life is grand and for those who open up their eyes there are limitless possibilities while those who so choose can remain obscure or focus on achieving their own selfish goal.
We are not the ones who determine our ultimate end but we can determine whether we become the contents of an unmarked grave/crematoria urn or the one who have a memorial built so that those following may visit and be inspired. Courage is not achieved by remaining in the safety of home and comfort but by those prepared to go out and face danger on the battlefields. A sword is not tempered in ice but must go through the furnace fires and be hammered into shape. So too can you and I have the opportunity to master life and go out to make an impact on our world.
What will you and I be leaving behind for those coming after us? There are endless possibilities but we must be willing to pay the price. Life is not all about money and the goods we acquire for money and wealth at times take wings and fly away. The education we gain goes to the grave with us although it is possible to pass on the wisdom and knowledge that we have gained to those coming after us.
There is no hard and fast rule as to what you and I will have to pass on to those coming after us but the reality is that each of us will get an opportunity to leave a legacy and the choice remain ours as to what we shall leave.
