Your Daily Legacy

Today was an incredibly busy day. Most of my days are busy, but this one was off the charts. Beginning with strategy calls, followed by two client meetings, connecting with an ill family member, rushing to my stepdaughter's holiday concert at school and dinner with the kids. The day was capped off by teaching cycling and back home to finish laundry and dishes. I mean, it was wild. 

At the end of the day, a great woman who comes to my cycling class said "you are just so cute." She went on to inquire about my life, and share other compliments. I was stunned to receive such a compliment at the end of a day such as today. 

On my way home, I reflected upon the day. Through the chaos, I managed to give of myself and connect with each person in a special way. Vendors, clients, family and friends all enjoyed the time we shared, and I was able to contribute to their life.

Every contact we make, person or business we touch leaves a legacy. Each day you are influencing the lives of others, even when you don't realize it. Are you doing your best? How can you do better?

People won't remember what you said, they will remember how you made them feel.
