Fate, Destiny, & Legacy

"The thing ordained for you – teach yourself to be at one with those. And the people who share them with you – treat them with love. With real love." – Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Fate

Fate is who you are and where you're at now. You can't change what brought you to this moment.

But if you acknowledge and accept fate, you can frame yourself, your situation, and the possibilities and potential ahead.

Destiny

Destiny is what's ahead. You can't know exactly what opportunities and obstacles await. But you can choose and take your next steps into them with intention and integrity.

Those choices and actions inform who you are and inspire your perception and posture as you continue stepping into your destiny.

Life doesn't happen to you. It happens through you.

Legacy

Legacy isn't the money and monuments you leave behind. Legacy is about living fully and well with what fate has brought you in this moment.

Legacy is the difference you're making right now. It's who you are and what you're doing to make things better today.

What's Next

What are you doing to develop yourself and enhance the lives of others today? Are you ready to make a difference?
