I’m sitting on my sunlit porch surrounded by trees that gently sway back and forth as they whisk the wind to give me a literal breath of fresh air. As I contemplate the mission I am embarking on, to help others share their legacy, I think back to a few years ago and why I believe it is so important that everyone, especially the wise elderly folks, not give in to the notion that you have no purpose just because you can’t do the job you used to do or because no one will hire you.
I will never forget the sirens and the flashing red lights that woke us at 3:00 AM on that summer night. It was a rush to see what the excitement was right outside our home. I came to the end of the porch, I saw the officers and the medical personnel gathered around the tree that is only about 20 yards from where I am sitting right now. We watched and waited expecting the ambulance to whisk whoever it was away to the safety of the Aspirus/Wausau Hospital but they didn’t leave. As day was breaking the coroner pulled up in the hearse and “the body” was loaded to be taken to the morgue.
There was remnant of the events and the grieving family left behind. They did not see the magnitude of their elderly loved one’s despair. He had become ill and unable to care for himself and had to leave the home he had lived his whole life to come and stay with relatives. He felt he had no purpose so he went outside and they said it appeared that he leaned the gun on the tree and ended his life.
As I am heading into the later part of my life, at age 60, I am nowhere near being done with the mission God has given me. In fact, if we are really interested in having purpose and meaning in life and are willing to seek out our Maker we will discover that there was a reason why we were created differently with unique gifts, talents, abilities and experience. We were chosen and empowered to make a difference in the world and to share our life story with others to leave a legacy of HOPE for the generations to come.
This video, and my mission is to help anyone who wants to leave that legacy to do it NOW. Don’t wait. Life is too short and as another one of my friends, at the age of 43 dropped dead 2 weeks ago of an un-diagnosed heart condition we just can’t afford to wait until we have time to write that book, or paint that picture, or publish that poem or record that story.
My life’s work is now to help others, particularly Christians, to share their experience, strength and hope to those you were created to reach. I am looking forward to those who hear what God is saying to them and choose to join our team of legacy seekers who are working to change the world with what God has given them. Please follow along and let us help you follow the path God has laid out for you and let us show you how to generate an income doing it that will not only sustain you but be a blessing to others as you leave a financial legacy as well!
