Due to the overwhelming positive responses from last Monday's message, I've decided to make the "Monday Motivational Minute" an ongoing thing. Hopefully this little "pick-me-up" will help you start your week on a positive and purposeful note.
"Are You A Legend?"
Throughout the week I have had many laughs at the conversations in the "HU Legends" group on Roundup (Thanks Rassi ;-). Some true legends have joined the group and some not so legendary people have also snuck in. LOL. This got me to thinking about my own LEGACY. Not just at Hampton but in all aspects of my life.
I define legacy as the impact, imprint and impression one leaves on history and the generations that follows him/her. What will people say about you and your work long after you are gone? How many legendary people will you help to create? What will people 50 years from now be thanking you for doing today?
As Hamptonians we are part of a rich legacy that has been passed down through generations. From the Emancipation Oak to Ogden Circle to the Memorial Chapel to Booker T Washington, we understand how important those who came before us were to our success.
My challenge to you for this week is to understand how important YOU are to the success of others around you. Understand that if you quit on yourself or give up on your dreams then you are quitting on your legacy and those who stand to be impacted by your legend. Legends don't live their lives trying to become legends. They live their lives trying to help as many people as possible become legends. Don't strive to be the Legend, strive to be the Legend Maker!
How will you build your legacy this week?
Be Blessed,
Ryan
