What kind of a wake are you leaving behind?

We sometimes talk of what we want to leave behind - in terms of a legacy.  I like to live in the now. Today. Not tomorrow. Not sometimes down the road in the future. How about today? 

When we wake up and go about our day -- what kind of lasting impression are you making today? I am often amazed how people seem to forget that they leave behind lasting impressions in their day to day activities.  Even if we're strangers in passing - we leave behind impressions.  However temporary.  Whether you intended to or not, you could have an impact on how another person feels about themselves or how they may approach the rest of the day.    

Think of a boat in the water. Think of the "wake" it leaves behind as it goes down the water.  That is you -- throughout the day. Is the wake you're leaving behind large tumultuous waves? Or are they soft, gentle waves?  

Our life on this green earthy ball is temporary.  You cannot predict tomorrow.  So, why are you pondering on what kind of a legacy you are going to leave behind when you die?  Think about now. What kind of a legacy are you leaving behind today, while you're alive? 

Rejoice! May peace be with you. 

May peace be with you today.
