As I heard about yet another celebrity death this past week, I started thinking about how different people have different views of other peoples’ legacies. While some people only remember the bad things someone did, other people only see the good. We all should have a mind toward legacy building. Our legacies are the only things left behind of ourselves after we are gone.
Throughout our lives, we will have many different relationships. Some of these are only for a short time, while others can last a lifetime. Sometimes, we may need to consider a relationship’s purpose. Was it part of our lives for a reason, for a season, or for a lifetime? Having had three serious romantic relationships as a young adult, I feel that each of them fell into one of these purposes.
Life is full of changes. We face many different kinds of changes in our lives everyday. Sometimes these changes are good, and sometimes they’re bad. Some changes really hold no consequence to our lives. Possibly the thing in our lives that defines our character the most is in how we accept change. To we let changes in our lives dictate our path, or do we face them head on and declare victory over them.
It seems that throughout various stages of my life, this question always seems to come up. Is it destiny that guides us through life, or is it our choices that determine the course of our lives. The philosophic debate between fate or free will has been on going as long as man has existed.
Through out our lives our paths cross the paths of many different people. While some people pass through others lives relatively unnoticed, there are those highly connected people that seem to impact every life that they cross.
Sometimes the best place to restart a project is to wipe the slate clean and hit the reset button. When you reboot a project, it can feel like you have wasted all of the time that you have already invested in it. A fresh start can sometimes be the best way to jump start a project that has stalled out.
