Yesterday as I heard news reports about the internal Penn State investigation and how this is basically ruining the legacy of Coach Paterno, I could not help but think what the legacy will be for some of the top newsmakers today. How quickly 45+ years of solid gold status can come tumbling down.
What will your legacy be when you are gone? Does it even matter…do you care?
Comments are always welcome!
Great film! You ask some really good questions. I recently watched the film “This Is It” and it’s astonishing how other people played such a negative role in Michael Jackson’s life during that one time period. He ultimately arrived at a point where he said “I’ll never trust anyone ever again!”. That is so sad, and him choosing that particular thought really lead to his decline in health. If ever there was an interesting legacy to review, it was his. I agree with you 100% on living in terms of your legacy. Others may not see your path or understand your choices, but if *you* know why and they are done with contemplation then your legacy should proceed as planned. Life is always out of our control but we can enhance the outcome of what happens with our choices.
Gio, thanks for coming and taking the time to comment. legacy is a complex issue but one that if you do not manage properly, can certainly get away from you which is the case of Joe Paterno. Such short sighted choices!
