What is the legacy you want to leave behind?
If you ask me, what is the legacy I want to leave behind?
Well, my answer would be to live an impactful life.
What is legacy anyway?
Based on Tony Robbins definition, legacy is a gift that’s passed down through generations. It could be money, property or even stories. It can also be a business – or the profits from a business, set up in a foundation or charity. Leaving legacy means dreaming big and changing the world for the better.
Right now, I am probably nowhere near from the above definitions. Currently, I am still on my journey of self-healing and discovering my life purpose.
Talking about life purpose, my aim in life when I was 20 may not be the same as my aim at this moment.
I thought in my 30’s I would have been able to pursue a promising career in a top notch corporation, have a lot of money, and travel the world by myself. In short, I used to believe that my life purpose is to become a successful happy-go-lucky career woman.
Never would have I imagined that in my early 30’s I would be a stay-at-home mom, who gets married to a mine engineer, lives somewhere far away from a metropolitan city, and has to go through a long distance marriage.
So far from my imagination!
Even though my life doesn’t seem to fall into places as I imagined it to be, I am proud of the woman I have become. The reason is because now I am fully aware of my core values and I started to make most of my important life decisions based on them.
Most important life decisions includes what kind of guy I want to marry, how I want to raise my kids, where I want to live, and so much more.
Finally, I come to realization that those happy-go-lucky life described in my favorite movies are not what I really looking for in my life.
It’s weird how my core values has dramatically changed my life. It improves my self esteem, I stopped seeking constant validation from others to justify my belief to myself.
I may not be that happy-go-lucky career woman, but I am walking in my purpose. I may not live an impressive life, but I am happier to be remembered as a woman who walks in purpose.
