“A legacy is something of consequence that we receive from a predecessor or transmit to a descendant in our future. It is not so much deserved or earned as it is a right of birth, a human heirloom. A legacy is that which we receive and give through the simple act of living. It is not a voluntary exchange that we can refuse or deny; our human legacy is an inescapable repercussion of life and how we live it. While we have little choice in the legacy that we receive from our ancestors, we have immense control over the legacy that we hand down to our progeny. You can decisively live a life of tranquility, peace, and harmony, or you can opt for a life of disorder, conflict, and disagreement. The legacy that you leave your children will be notably similar to the life that you have chosen to live. It will either be a benefit to them or an impediment to overcome.”
