Our Legacy As Professional Women – Part III

Life Is A Journey

Life is meant to be shared.  No one chooses to travel life alone.  Joy is in the shared journey.  It’s those opportunities we say “yes” to, the people we meet or invite along the way, and the “ah ha” moments that awaken us to a new way of looking at something familiar.  Our journeys continue day to day, as one experience follows another.  The journey embraces people who impact us, circumstances and changes we can’t control, the choices and decisions we make and the effect of those actions over time.  The road is comprised of trial and error, risks and opportunities, pleasure and disappointment. 

The word “our” lies within the word “journey”.  How we conduct ourselves and the value we place on our relationships determine the quality of our life.  Consider the impact you are making.  Consider whether you are leaving a legacy that will long outlive you.  Are you making the kind of difference others will remember?

Connect to Care

We are each given the gift of bringing who we are to the world.  We can’t become for one another what we don’t accept for ourselves as truth.  I believe my legacy is to enlighten others to recognize that connection is joy. What is yours?

 Recognizing all that we do is cause for celebration!  We can only teach what we value.  We can lead only by our own example.  We can guide, encourage, and acknowledge.  We can love.  As each of us contributes who we are to the world, we are both creating and leaving our legacies.  The difference we make today and tomorrow sparks its own ripple effect.  That effect over time is what we leave behind and for which we are remembered.

Actively participating in each other’s journeys and supporting our individual contributions is how we can contribute to each other’s success. When we care, we connect.  We connect when we care.  They are one.
