your legacy starts now
Today is the day after Labor Day. A new time, a new beginning, a new season (at least in my mind), and the perfect excuse/motivation/reason to start brand new/over/try again, kick something off, etc.
Hell yes!
I have regular conversations with strangers and friends about how they may have screwed up, missed out on, gotten too deep in, feel too old for … some kind of shift, or complete life overhaul.
Never, my friends, never:
Today is the day. You can start right now.
Whether you’re 18 or 80, boy or girl, rich or poor, gay or straight, have 1 friend or 100, live in the city or the country, have bookoo bucks in the bank or zero, whether you’re scared shitless or semi-confident, kind of sure, but doubt yourself, whether you feel like the freakiest of freak shows for whatever you desire or the loser-ist of losers, for not knowing even what the first step even looks like- you can figure it out. You can dooooo-eeeeet! I’m not talking self-helpy bullshit you can do it because it will be easy-peasy, I’m talking you can do it BECAUSE YOU ARE ALIVE TODAY, and moreso- why they hell wouldn’t you?
It’s never too late for anything until you’re taking your last breath.
Think about it.
I plan to go down kicking & screaming in the flames of a good fight whether my last day is tomorrow or in 150 years. I’ll be kicking & screaming with delight as I’m doing what I love, sucking every last ounce of awesome out of this world, as I simultaneously feed it back.
Won’t you join me?
This summer of 2015 has kicked my ass to the moon and back. The wrath and fury of a terrorizing beast has pummeled me in the face like it never has before. Thank goodness for family & friends. This season that has taken shit show to a whole different meaning, and has also has reminded me more than ever that people and time are the only things that truly matter.
Do you ever think about that?
If you haven’t already, It’s time to get rid of your stuff. Your physical, financial, and internal “stuff.” The stuff that weighs you down and keeps you from breathing & living what matters to you. Clear out those walk-in closets in your home and in your heart that are chucked full of clutter and crap you don’t want or need, and start waking up everyday to a life you deserve. One where you don’t suffocate yourself or beat yourself up anymore. A life where you’re alive, thrive, and do good things. A life that is authentically you, and that will remind people of your smile, long after you are gone- because you truly lived while you were living.
Jump in. The world needs that mojo you’ve got inside.
What kind of legacy will you leave?

September 8, 2015 at 3:15 pmYo, on point one hundred percent, but don’t forget that one must find some sort of contentment throughout their lives. I really agree with your point of getting rid of stuff. I have greatly minimized my needs and wants in the past five years, especially after my mother died, and I found that without all the crap I am happier. I no longer feel the need to keep up with biggest, baddest and best like many Americans do, and I feel more free because of this. I wish more people in America would embrace this ideology, but so many are still trying to “keep up with the Jones'” as my mother used to say, that they miss out on life. Life is not about money, material, or possessions. It is about memories, people, and experiences, and simply living your life will give you the most fruitful rewards that you will ever need. Regrettably, we all need money, but if we live life right we do not need much of it to be truly happy and content. Thanks for the good vibes hun, I needed to read some positivity this morning. :o)
