Topic: Leaving Legacies. | |
---|---|
While it might be the musing thoughts of an old lady I am wondering what some of the Mingleland throngs plan or even hope to leave as their legacy to the world?
Of course there is the usual spouse, kids, and household but will their be anything lasting beyond another generation? |

A legacy is left not because you love, but because you are loved by others.
I honestly think that if you raise your kids to be honest, caring human beings, they don't have to be your kids even, but if you show nephews and nieces what it is to be decent then they will in turn do the same, and so on and so on, and therefore the ripples of your legacy with be felt for generations to come. |

I hope to make a difference in underserved communities, by challenging the status quo of repetitive impoverishment and introducing some of the opportunities and financial networks/knowledge that help build wealth and acquire true freedom,,,
emphasis on hope because it will not be something I can do alone,,, |

I am only a small player on the world stage, so all I hope for, is an occasional moment where I make a difference for someone else, in a positive way. I figure from there, it's like dominoes falling.

Agree parenting and family bonds are definitely not just biology. And those who step up rarely are appreciated enough or know their own great legacy in those efforts large or small. |

I think much of what we do has the domino effect. And I think you are a much larger positive contributor than you might think. |

That doesn't mean that a great legacy would stand behind anyone who helped more people learn how to manage the wealth they have. Kind of sad some of our poorest people still have more than those in other places and do less with it. .e |
