The Power of Legacy

It is amazing to me how much power is embellished in a pre-historic time period when one decides to do something positive, but different. In making their decisions, they don't fully understand that they are taking a leading role in a legacy created, but the wisdom and courage they possess to change their situations inspire others that look up to them to the same thing in the future. It almost seems as if that particular abstract thought came to life and became a concrete role model for the admirer. If your not following me here is an example so you readers can understand. Lets say the oldest brother of 6 decides to go to college and play sports, join a prestigious college fraternity, and graduate and become a Dr. in education. Shortly after, the second brother goes off to college, joins the same exact fraternity, and is currently working on his doctoral degree. As for the 3rd brother in line, he goes off and does the same exact thing. The positive influence in this legacy is an example of why it is called a legacy in the first place because if it was a negative thing done over and over, it would be considered insanity. Creating a positve legacy is a great thing, considering how you have influenced someone in such a way. The great thing about legacy is that it is never to late to be created. Some of us maybe the first to go to college, graduate college, become a member of a church religion or organization, or any other thing positive that can greatly influence family members or friends to the same. So right now, now matter what the situation may look like, continue doing positive things because you never know what family member or friend is going to do the same things to create what we called a legacy.
