He’s helped me discover strengths in myself that I never even realized I had.
I wanted to replay this episode for many reasons, but the main one being the topic we discussed: Legacy.
What is it that you want to be known for? What difference do you want to make in this lifetime? The answer to these questions are what’s known as your legacy. With every move and decision you make, you are creating your legacy. Make sure the reasons you are known and remembered in the generations to come are ones you’d be proud of, ones you fought hard to make a reality. There’s simply no time to be wasted on anything less than the life you wish to live.
For Mel, he wants his legacy to be that he was there for people. He was a listening ear, a word of encouragement or advice, a teacher for future generations. To be able to have helped just one person that then gets passed down for years to come, from one person to next, is more than he can ask for in this lifetime. But he plans on continuing to help as many people as he can, for as long as he can.
