7 Questions That Rattle In The Minds Of Most Menনমুনা

Your legacy is defined by default or design.

You’ve probably seen a legacy created by default—like a workaholic grandfather whose legacy was a neglected wife and kids. Or maybe you’ve seen a legacy created with intention—like a dad who deliberately showed affection, even though his own dad never did.

You have an opportunity to decide the mark you’ll leave on your family, your company, your community. If necessary, you can break the cycles of the past. Or if you’re lucky, you can double down on the best traits of those who’ve gone before you.

Like a road trip that requires mile after mile of driving, moving your life toward your desired destination simply requires steady, intentional actions. Let’s figure out what those are.
