Are You Living
The Way You Want To Be Remembered?

The fact that none of us is an accident, the fact that we are living, breathing, amazing, miraculous creations, and the fact that each of us is here for a reason, with our own very special purpose, should inspire us to be worthy of every breath we take, and of every day that we live, and is why I want to impress upon you the importance of your living legacy.

I think that our incredibly meaningful lives are orchestrated like beautiful and varied, well-tuned instruments playing together in one enormously glorious band. Like the instruments, each of us becomes finely tuned as we play and blend our hearts and minds together, growing from each other, and from each encounter.

We should be living each day as if we were a beautiful sounding instrument, soothing souls as we communicate with them, and leaving that person feeling that they were better off for the time spent with us, than they were before. Knowing your purpose, living your passion, and finding your place in life allows you the luxury of not just existing', but rather living a full life that leaves a beautiful fragrance wherever you go.

None of us will live forever, and each of us is allotted only so many days here on earth, which should inspire a passion within us to not only touch, but also embrace those lives that have crossed our paths. Nothing in this entire world is by accident, so I know for a fact that the people who have crossed my path in life (both in my personal and business worlds), are there for a very certain reason, and I hold myself personally responsible for the ripple effect' I have in their lives.
I encourage every person who has been receiving these letters, to realize your passion, to grow it, and allow it to be the vehicle by which you touch other's lives daily. The only way we can live the way we want to be remembered is by becoming a sweet fragrance, which by the way takes soul searching, soul growing, and consequently soul application.

We cannot remain the same for longer than a day, nor can we afford to allow our souls to stagnate in a status quo state. We have a lot of living to do, and a lot of meaningful ripple effects' to go out, that doesn't come by our standing still on the assembly line of life. I encourage you to take those baby steps of soul growth', which will start you on your journey of living the way you want to be remembered!
