Looking Back and Looking Ahead

 

One of my daughters receives a newsletter from a softball peak-performance coach.  Often his topics are fairly exclusive to softball, but sometimes he branches out to subjects that can be applied to various arenas.  In a newsletter earlier this year, Marc Dagenais spoke on “What Will You Be Remembered For?”  In referencing a certain outstanding player, he stated the following: “She leaves behind a legacy not only as the most powerful hitter in the game, but also as a leader on and off the field

 

That really spoke to me, and I’ve been meaning to comment on it for some time.  The idea of leaving a legacy is very powerful.  It’s something that not only can motivate, but lends a certain sense of importance and perspective to one’s efforts.  As Marc also says, thinking about how you will be remembered can definitely affect how you conduct yourself.  Personally, I had to take a hard look at myself and my own conduct when I really thought this over.

 

Speaking to ball players, Marc also asked this:

 

· How do you want to be remembered?

· What do you want people to talk about when you retire?

· What legacy will you leave behind?

 

Think about it.

June 15 is coming!!!

 

What does it mean for me, and more importantly what could it mean for you?

 

I can state right here and right now that this is big, that I’m in the final stages of due diligence and preparation for a major announcement, and that this will take me in a new direction.  As the title of today’s blog states, it will involve both looking back and looking ahead.

 

Stay tuned….

 

onward,
