Daily Question, April 10

What wisdom do I most want to pass on to the world as my legacy?

  • Gecko

    I can be right or I can be happy, but I can seldom be both at the same time. I am learning that I’d rather be happy.

  • Ms. Awesome

    I would like to pass on my dedication and sincere loyalty to Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior!

  • Deb Waites

    There was a time when I would have desired to pass on a legacy of wisdom, but that time has passed. Each person has to search for, ask and accept the wisdom available to them.

    love all the responses!- life is so rich
    I am going to say that in the end , all energy is transformed …so all my thoughts, particularly actions will be transfigured…..we are all energy and it will all be here still in some form…..
    learning this from the death of my parents……and ultimately only love matters…hopefully will be my legacy—if it is to be, it’s up to me!!

    This too shall pass. You are beloved and worthy of love. Be kind. Breathe. Be mindful of your blessings. Take care of yourself. All will be well. Take care of the trees!

    There is no eye in I. Be less, see more, love always, be at peace.

    I don’t suppose I see myself as wise. The things I have to say that I might want to say are more “lessons learned” or observations. Here is what comes to mind…. (1) if you are thinking or doing something that is opposite what “the world” or “pop culture” etc recommends you are probably on the right track (2) be yourself (3) remember you are not in charge, life is messy, be kind and forgive especially don’t forget to be kind and forgiving to yourself when examining imperfection ...

    I am not interested in passing along whatever wisdom I might have to the world as my legacy. I’m finding plenty of ways to use what amounts to wisdom day by day. Instead, perhaps I’ll leave behind a note saying, “Sorry that I wasn’t able to stay longer.”

    Everyone is weird, quirky, unusual. As I get older I’ve got more comfortable with that in other people. More importantly still, it’s in me, and all the light is flavoured with the dark. It’s what it is to be human. I’ve got more comfortable with that over time. I don’t need to be “fixed*: all of that makes me who I am. That’s not a licence for destructive action as I have a choice how to act. I think a lot of healing happens when we acknowledge our humanity and praise the flawed beauty of it.

    The 12-step way of life because it has profoundly changed mine. I wouldn’t be on this site, answering questions like these without it. I’ve also seen something on FB about what wisdom I would pass on to young people that I believe is apropos. It’s the phrase “It gets better.” This has been my experience in life primarily because of my involvement in 12-step programs. Oh, and finally, Brother David’s counsel to always be grateful.
