Everyone has “History” or “Herstory,” no matter how old you may be. As the evolution of life continues, we find just like that of a tree, people are born and people die. However, we must not take lightly the way we live and the contributions we make to ensure that the generations who follow us will be equipped for their life’s journey.
Unfortunately, all too often we make critical errors in judgment that could curse the fruits of our roots; decisions that could have massive consequences on the growth and development of generations to come. So as we pause and reflect on celebrating “What Will Be Your Legacy Month,” let us think about how we appear to others, just as others appear to us. Do we want to live in embarrassment by not setting a positive and empowering example to those who follow in our genealogical pool? On the other hand, are we challenging the generations who follow to raise the bar on going further than we went, just as we raised the bar on how far we successfully traveled in the shadows of our ancestors. Are you better off…worse or stagnant?
