The impact of your life will be determined by your dash.
When you die they'll indicate on your tomb the year of your birth and the year of your death separated by a dash (1989 — 2070). The dash is your life. What you did. How you lived. Whose life you touched. The legacy you left behind.
Aristotle said: "Excellence is not an art. It's a habit."
You can't be excellent half of the time and be in a comfort zone the other half. Your either excellent or your not.
None of us can start out inventing our legacy. Rather, we are who we are and we do what we do. The world notices and assigns to us the definition of our legacy. The best legacies are innocent by-products of a life lived well and a heart overflowing with tender love. Seek not fans, fame, or fortune.
Everybody wants it to matter that they lived. When God breathed in our nostrils and gave us life, He intended for us to use it well.
Your legacy is not something that you can wish for. Its built day, by day, by day throughout your life. It's getting up early every morning and putting in a HARD days work.
When it comes to basketball coaches will remember each and every one of their players. How are your coaches going to remember and talk about you? Will they refer to you as one of their warriors? Will they think of you as a lazy player or will they remember you as a leader and a winner? Will they think about what kind of player you could of been if you would of worked harder? These are the questions you will answer throughout your career.
When it comes to life everybody will leave a legacy, some will be good and some will be bad, but only a few will be great. Leaving a special legacy is HARD. It means going about your life in a different way than everybody else. The road you take will be less traveled. There will be those days when you don't want to work but you will dig deep and still bring it because thats the only way you do things.
Your going to leave a legacy, what kind of legacy is it going to be?
