For far too many of us, getting back to basics and starting from scratch sounds far too familiar, but really that's what's so great about life and the opportunities we've been so blessed to have. For Non-Fiction we've chosen not to pick up from where we left off but are fortunate to look towards a new beginning. A new chapter to a new novel, that starts with Commitment and ends in LEGACY.
In the wake of the passing of our beloved Michael J. Jackson better known as "the King of Pop" I couldn't help but feel for the Legacy he's left behind. While many of us choose to remember him for his music, his dance, his art ... other's found his embarrassments, his debts and his "freak" like nature much more appealing.
I fear that this will also be the case for many of us, while we will all go on to do great things, the things we do in passing or in the meantime will ultimately blemish or even worse, tarnish our own legacies. As important as it is that we do things right the first time around it's just as important when given another opportunity we make the most of it, living our lives not solely for the benefit of ourselves, but also for those around us and more importantly those who will follow. True LEGACY isn't up to us to determine.
