Legacy - Part 3: Applying It

{Now that I have my whole life figured out} it would be silly to not come up with some kind of plan to implement that knowledge. {sarcasm brackets}

The two areas I was drawn to were my kids and affecting lives. What can I do starting today to start investing in those things?

Kids

I need to make a more focused effort to spend one-on-one time with each of them to build relationship and get to know them as individuals and not just as part of the local kid tornado.

They are still young so there are a lot of things they are not ready for yet, but simple regular interactions are probably what they need the most.

Affected Lives

This is a bit harder. I have to find people who want/need help. I have some good relationships with people at my church, but at most those are peer-to-peer relationships, and while they are rewarding and I think I am helping, having a more mentor/mentee relationship holds the promise of being more productive.

A guy I work with runs a robotics team here at the local high school. That might be cool to help with. I think I have enough perspective beyond high school to be a meaningful mentor for teenagers.

We will see. I don't want to overextend myself. Three little kids might be as much mentoring as I can handle for the time being.

You should try this out. Give it might not do much for you, but then again, if you don't have a broader perspective than the here and now you don't know if you are lost.
