Reflection
Maybe it’s because I’m growing closer to my judgment day, but how I will be remembered means more to me now than ever, so I jotted down a few thoughts.
I want to be remembered as:
- An ardent, flawed follower of Jesus who was aware of his imperfections and tried his best to tame them.
- A great husband
- A great father and grandfather
- A great son
- A great leader
- A great friend
- A person who inspired others to become the person God created them to be.
- A man who chose to be kind over being right.
I still have a lot of work to do.
How do you want to be remembered?
Judgment day is coming.
Be remembered for something that matters.
Matthew 12:36, “I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,” (ESV)
Luke 6:35, “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.”

AFFIRM YOUR P.E.A.C.E.
Purpose with a Plan – No matter how big or small, we all have a purpose. Your purpose lies at the intersection of your passions and your gifts. Find your PURPOSE and create a daily PLAN to help you fulfill it to the best of your ability.
Effort—Turning your dream/goal into reality requires a commitment to consistent and focused effort toward executing your plan. Nothing great in life happens without working hard.
Attitude—If you believe you will achieve your dream, your chances of achieving it increase exponentially. Remember that your attitude determines your altitude in all areas of your life.
Community – Nothing great in life happens by doing it alone. The chances of achieving your dream expand as your COMMUNITY of positive mentors and coaches expand. You become the average of the five people you spend the most time with–and yes, spending time with “people” through books and instructional videos factors into your “average.”
Energy – Living a purposeful life requires optimal mental, physical, and spiritual ENERGY. Commit daily to nurturing your mental, physical, and spiritual self to provide the energy needed to live your best life purposefully.
