It’s the People Whose Lives You Touch that Endures

by JD

If all we are is “dust in the wind” then how do we make lasting impact?

It’s your legacy of the lives you touch that endures and ripples through eternity.

In the book The Carpenter: A Story About the Greatest Success Strategies of All, Jon Gordon reveals some of ways that we leave our legacy.

Gordon writes:

“I have helped people build their lives, careers, and teams.  I didn’t plan it this way. 

It just happened. 

It is my purpose and I receive it.  After all, material things eventually fade away. 

No matter how beautiful an entertainment center we build, it won’t last forever. 

It may not even last a lifetime. 

But the leaders and people I build up, the people I invest in, the relationships I develop, and the success strategies I share — that is what endures and ripples through eternity.”

Whether you make a dent in the universe or a lasting ripple, it’s about the people’s whose lives you touch.
