So true. Bronnie Ware noted that the #1 regret of the dying was that they wished they lived a life more true to themselves than for others ❤️

My definition of LEGACY is the QUALITY OF LIFE I LIVE❤ ...im not married and don't have kids, so im not bothered. Leaving kids on this earth is not LEGACY, especially if you have created nothing for them to live off. IMPACT on others through my life is my legacy.

Love that last paragraph. So much to learn from it 🙏

Oh for god's sake, stop whining about paying taxes! You have opportunities to get an education, food, housing, and use roads and bridges because of 'the government.' The government responds to pandemics, wars, and natural disasters so that you can continue to criticize. Of course, all decisions are far from perfect. that is what democracy is. Just get some perspective and know that it is a privilege to pay taxes because it means that you made money!

@@naynaybreenay1396 👏👏👏

Whether rightly or wrongly, I've come to sense that things enter into and pass out of our lives for a reason. That may sound a bit ethereal, but I've tried to open myself up to that possibility, and I try to be aware of what I perceive to be are signals that indicate incoming or outgoing change. The ability to be self-aware is huge in this, and I think it ties in with the message in this video. Like another comment here, I've shamefully and glibly taken much of the gift of life for granted. I've had bumps in life like everyone else, but as I'm about to turn 67 this year, I'm grateful and actually stunned by my incredible good fortune when I stop to assess the moment I'm in. I'm not rich, but I'm not poor. I'm not sick, but I'm not perfectly healthy. I'm not stupid, but I'm not as smart as I wish I was. I'm acutely aware of my mortality now, and that cloud on my horizon approaches ever faster. That being the case, ive decided to make one last attempt to create a business out of thin air based on something i think i have the skills to potentially succeed at. If i succeed at this then I'll be astonished, but I will also grade failure as a success because i know that i will have at least tried versus letting the last of my energies and abilities grow fallow in the final chapter of my life. Regret for sometuing jot tried would be unbearable to me. These changes are hard on my family because I'm upsetting everyone's comfort, but in a strange outcome I think I see them being subconsciously inspired to make changes in their own lives. I'll take the blame for forcing this change on my family, but I hope and dream it benefits them as well in some way. Change is often ugly, but it can manifest in better outcomes ultimately. Thank you for this inspiring video.

@@greytogray6070 and thank you for this wonderful share. Enjoyed reading your comment and it reminded me of the book The Celestine Prophecy. Have you read it?

😂you divorced and wrote a book! I can already assume everything was his fault, right? 🤭 But truth be told.... As long you found purpose and grew as a person... then you are a better person!

Thank you and so glad to hear 🙏

And this is why being conscious of the environment around us is so important- from the people we spend time with to the books we read and from who we follow on social media to what we listen to ❤️

I’m 61yrs old, and when I was your age I also had people dragging and knocking me down as I tried to improve, those people where family, i decided early on that I had to cut ties with the toxicity of these people. Don’t hang on to toxic people just because they’re family, that was the best decision I ever made. I build a successful life and made my own family of true friends and loved ones. Don’t be afraid to break away. Good luck and may you find your true path in this life. Blessings 🤍

Toxic people have ruined my life. I’m 34, homeless, and wasting my days just scraping by to exist.

@@_Arugula_Salad_ That's on you, take responsibility or in other words accept the freedom

@@_Arugula_Salad_ Perhaps in Asia?

When i lived in service to everyone's needs but was invisible & not even on the list, whole Borough's would have packed out my funeral... Now im a parent, escaped the abuse trying to destroy us and am still generous but now acknowledge my own boundaries - I doubt more than 5 people would attend my funeral - which would be more than the birthday texts for my birthday this year - im not even 50 yet - don't ask for anything, still give more than i receive as someone said, yet people rarely applaud our journey to authenticity, they want you to be a door mat, so they can boast when you die of exhaustion "they'd do anything for anyone". No more. Thank you God for saving me and opening my eyes to the Truth ❤

​@@FaithfulandTrue949great words

@@FaithfulandTrue949 Yes, finding & living your Truth--aligning with who you authentically are--is not selfish; it is, as I say, Self-ful (capital-S). Selflessness, in a door-mat-y way, is extoled in our society, yet it entails Self-betrayal at every turn. That's just too high a price to pay. So I really don't care "what will people say" about the life I live(d). We are each responsible for our own happiness whether the sum of our (ideally Self-aligning) choices yield a tangible legacy or not. Of what value is your legacy, if in the course of cultivating it, I discover you've suppressed or denied your true Self for even a day, let alone for decades?

Exactly, I couldn't care less about whose going to show up in my funeral, I only care for people who are showing up in my life through ups and downs

@@Pinkgreentea1 Excellent point! I have a relative who never visited our home in 40 years. He showed up, for the first time, at my dad's funeral!

agree, if we care about what others will say after we are gone, we are trying to live other's life in order to impress them

This is a bad mentality to live by, the only way you will be at peace with death when your time comes is knowing you made a positive contribution to the species that aligns with your potential to do so.

👏👏👏

How did you figure out what Gods thoughts of you are? Do you have a direct means of communication?

@@-whackdThe Scriptures and the Holy Spirit who lives in those who believe in God, reveals God’s thoughts and plans for us. This happens through prayer, which is the direct means of communication we use to talk to and listen from God. Hope this helps!

When God told Noah to build the Ark, there were no churchianity or denominations. God speaks the same today as He always did, why do you think keeping us busy and distracted is so lucrative - its the devils work! Jesus said "my sheep hear My voice" read the Gospels and sincerely ask God to help your unbelief. Listening for that still, small voice has helped me escape death more than once, Jesus loves you - He bought you with His Blood ❣️

Beautifully said and you are right on it being a natural part of living a life true to yourself 👏

Well said

Agreed. Live authentically, i.e., make Self-aligning choices on a moment-to-moment basis. Words don't teach; lead by example. Therein lies your 'legacy'. Just do YOU, not for them but for you. Anyone calibrated to their own Truth is naturally, effortlessly, even inadvertently inspirational.

@@writerforlifeify spot on 🔥

@@simonalexandero Thanks, but I feel that my 'insights' simply constitute common sense even though I can appreciate how the terms in which I've been thinking (since elementary school) aren't so common at all. Have you ever tried engaging certain (religion-hijacked) groups of people in a discussion about Self-alignment? All I ever elicited from them were blank stares or expressions of fear or assurances of understanding me whilst simultaneously blatantly contradicting themselves! It's both funny & sad. But we can deduce why the caged bird sings.....can't we? In university (Sociology class), I met 'mature' students (45+) who expressed disappointment, even anger, when they were offered an array of essay topics & were instructed to choose one. One woman was especially chagrined. I was then 22, genuinely shocked for the 1st & only time in my life. I suddenly realized that some (or most) people experience the freedom of choice AS the burden of choice. They want to be told what to do, to think, to believe. I really didn't know, until then, that such peeps existed! (I was penalized by the prof for selecting a topic that wasn't even on the list but I subsequently settled it with the dean). But no matter, all roads in life ultimately lead Home to one's true Self in every context, sooner or later.

@@SyriusOLshdepression will for do it. It will make you forget what day it is and before you know it a whole year would have passed by. For most people depression is the culprit. But also keep in mind that “wasted time” looks very different for each person. Some may feel that if they worked too much and didn’t get to spend time with family that they wasted time, were as others may feel the same about not traveling much, or experiencing different things. For me my family has sucked so much of my time away that my career goals had been put to the side, and I mentally suffered greatly for that. It prevented me from being able to meet dynamic business and financial goals that would have changed not just my life, but my family’s life as a whole. My grandmother, uncle, and 6yo old niece would still be here if I could have been financially stable to help them. Im now in my early 30s and 10yrs married and we still don’t have kids (😢) and I’m trying to recover everyday from the emotional and psychological trauma I have endured over these last 8yrs. The pandemic didn’t help at all (it just sucked away 3yrs like it was nothing) It’s hard but very doable, but it takes time. Im personally in a much better head space now, because I decided in 2021 that I’m no longer going to care about anyone else anymore until I can take care of myself and what I want in life.

I've been contemplating quitting my job for the last 5 years but didn't have the balls. I am now 39 and the last 5 years feels like wasted. I've made some money and travelled but everything has been rushed. Also, I was determined to get physically healthier and I have, but even that has been rushed and lead to mostly injuries. I started a new job, but I see the cycle just repeating again. Not sure anymore what is the best thing to do. It is very confusing...

@@simonalexandero The most important thing is be willing to give up all the stuff you don't need in life. I got rid of my big commitments such as an expensive apartment in Hong Kong, a pricy place to live and simplified all aspects of my life, drastically reducing my outgoings. I then went part time and started a small business but treated it as a vehicle: building it around my lifestyle with no crazy growth plans hence removing ego out of the equation. You quickly learn that you don't need anywhere near as much money as most people think to live a great life providing you remove all unnecessary commitments.
