Have you ever asked yourself the questions...what is the mark I want to leave on the world? What is the legacy that I will leave behind? At some stage I think most of us have.
Now I have new questions that I ask myself... Why do I want to leave a mark behind? What is my need for a legacy of remembrance? Is it not enough that I am here? Have I spent my life this far doing things that I would be remembered for, striving to be the best...yet thinking I am not enough? Busying myself to the point of not really ever knowing who I am, because maybe she is better or he is better! Thinking... I am not enough!
Wouldn't I prefer to live a life of peace and joy and in doing so would the need to leave anything behind be abandoned in the knowledge that I know... I am enough! I am here.
What is the driving force behind this thought process? And am I already doing this to the next generation without ever stopping long enough to consider that I am enough, they are enough, and we are enough, because we are here! If I realise this, will it free me to be me?
Will I stop for long enough to live my legacy now, while I am here to enjoy this life? Will I notice all of the colourful marks that I have already made on me and all those whom my life has touched...or is it easier to continue to believe that I am not enough? Will I continue to strive to be a better me, all the while not realising that I have always been enough and I will always be enough? I am here!
Can I now simply do the things in life that bring me joy, both at work and in leisure knowing that I am enough? I am here!
I was born enough, I will die enough and nothing that I can do in between will change that.
Because I am here... I am enough!
