Most people from the time they are young receive words of advice guiding them towards how to make money. Instructions are given regarding their career path. Perhaps it is higher education or an apprenticeship in a trade. These are important so the person becomes self-reliant and successful in making proper financial decisions. This is only part of what is important in maturing into a responsible adult.
Life’s true business is making memories. You will leave everything you acquire behind when you die. Your memories are the only thing you will take with you into eternity. What did you do to benefit those who are impacted by your words and deeds? Did you speak into their lives or just speak at them? Time is a commodity that every person gets at birth. We all receive the same amount each day. Where did you spend your time? What did you invest your time in?
The memories you leave with others will be the only thing they keep of you that has any real value. The things you gathered into your vault of possessions may have been important to you,
but they may not mean anything to the people you leave behind. They cannot hold the wheel of your expensive car and experience the warm touch of your hand when you are no longer there. The elaborate sound system will not deliver your kind words of encouragement when you are gone.
Invest in those to whom you are important to. Take the time to evaluate the relationship you have with each person in your sphere of influence. Find out what they need, not what you need. What can you do to improve their life through your relationship with them? Speak kind words into them. Hold them just a little bit longer so they feel your love. Encourage them when they make a mistake and help them overcome the missteps.
Spend your currency of time on people, not things.
You are here for the next generation. Do everything you can to equip them to become better than you. Prepare them for greatness and teach them how to pass it on to those around them and after them.
