Birthday Lunch at 1847, Bristol
It was my 49th birthday on Sunday, and I am still wrapping my head around the fact that I am approaching half a century old.
Is that something you think about?
I have written about this before, but it is something that I do think about a lot.
What have I done so far, what more will I do and what legacy will I leave behind.
You may say that it is something we don’t need to think about; or, as some of you have said to me already, that I am leaving a legacy through the lives that I have touched over the years.
The thing is, I have this feeling, deep in my heart, that I am meant to do something more. And that feeling brings with it a sense of urgency as we never know how many moments we have left to experience. The frustrating thing is …
I don’t know what I am meant to do.
What I do know is I need more quiet time to reflect. I need to get out of my businesses and work on my businesses.
I should have a holiday.
I know my 25 years+ of being involved with the fitness industry as it is needs to draw to a close, either completely or change direction.
Almost twenty years ago, when I was on my yoga teacher training course, I remember my teacher saying that we should all aim to leave the planet better than we found it. I do truly believe this. And one of the reasons I got into becoming a trainer and teaching teachers is the belief that if I could influence one teacher, they, in turn, will influence the people in their classes, thereby causing a ripple effect. It is also the reason that I am an Arbonne consultant as I believe that social marketing is the way forwards in terms of influencing and changing lives.
So I am still at the contemplating stage on which direction I should take that would cause the most ripples, as that is why I do what I have always done.
What are you thoughts?
Do you know your legacy? Are you even bothered?
Do you have any tips you can share and help me with my musings?
Till next time …
