Discovering Your LIfe Purpose
Life Purpose
I believe that we are all on this earth for a God-given life purpose. What is yours? Through my "life filter" as a follower of Jesus, I have come to believe that part of my life purpose is to raise $500 million for philanthropy. This will come through my wife's and my own modest foundation, but primarily through assisting clients create and pass wealth with little or no tax, to be used in part for giving back. That is part of my life purpose and life legacy - so far I know of over $50 million raised. If I am granted long life and the Lord should tarry in His return, we'll get there. And, how about you? Do you know what your "life purpose" is? Are you clear on what the legacy is you are leaving? Is that legacy the one you really wish to leave?
Determining A Life Legacy
So what will be your legacy? How will you impact others lives? Part of my legacy has become a desire to help others identify and then get excited about leaving a legacy that positively impacts their world. My desire is to be an encourager, mentor and example to others in how a tall, skinny, flawed Irish-Norwegian kid can still be used to leave his world better off than he found it.
What Will Be Our Legacy?
How will it make a difference on the planet that we existed? In other words ... what is to be our unique legacy, and will we pass that legacy on to others? How are our lives impacting others around us? Is it impacting them in a way that is purposeful and lasting? Or, is one of consumption and simply transitory? Will our lives be like sticking a fist in a bucket of water and removing it quickly - and the hole that remains is the legacy we will leave behind? Or, will our lives and what we stood for continue on in the lives of those we touch?
Dying With Their Music Unsung
Since most people give more attention and planning time to their vacation than how they will live their life, is it any wonder that most die with their "music still unsung"? Join us here at The Center For Wealth & Legacy Studies to help raise the consciousness of individuals to examine and then carry out a mission for their lives to impact the world in the manner to which they decide is important to them ... to help them plan their own unique legacy. Let's help others determine the unique music to be sung in each person's life and then have it sung!
Creating Your Own Legacy
Let us know if you would like to hear more or try an exercise or two to begin to "unpack" this for your own life.
Yours for making a difference in the lives of those around us ....
