I Will Live Forever by Building People Up

and this is what I hope for every one of us. We will continue to live on in the lives of people we build up through how we think about them, which leads to how we talk to them, which leads to how we treat them and the things we do to them and the things we do for them. And they will carry on with them everything we did to make them a better version of themselves, to help them reach the potential and destiny for which God created them. They will thank us for that.

I'm telling you no matter what's happening around you, God has put you in the lives of people that you can impact and change right now whose hearts and minds will carry that with them forever. They will tell stories about you to their kids and their grandkids about how somebody believed in them, somebody invested in them, somebody left a mark on their life that changed them for the better. You have the power to do that without a dollar in your pocket, without a degree, without a title, without a position, without authority, without a platform from which to speak. You have the power to do that. [00:44:08] (37 seconds)  #ImpactWithoutTitle

I guess the question we have to ask ourselves is how have we touched the lives that we've touched? And you might sell yourself short. You might think because you don't have a position of authority at work, because you don't have a title, because you don't have a lot of money, because you don't maybe have a big voice in your family, maybe you're you're you're withdrawn a little bit, maybe you're an introvert, maybe there's a thousand reasons why you don't think your reach, your touch is that significant, I wanna tell you that you are touching lives.

And you would not believe how quickly that can happen. How one encounter with you, how one experience with you, how one word from you, how one kind act from you can transform somebody's life. Just one moment, you can leave a legacy in somebody's life. [00:06:50] (23 seconds)  #OneMomentMatters

He says it's gonna benefit them here as well as there when you learn how to take resources, whatever they are, that you have enough of to give to somebody else. Statistically, every one of us has more than we need. Now you may have chosen to take the more that you need and put it into something that you didn't actually need so that it takes up that money, takes up that time, takes up your energy, takes up your passion, your attention. You may have chosen to misspend that, but it doesn't mean you don't have what it takes to be generous with your money, your time, your resources, your energy, your investment.

He gave everything, what he was capable of giving. I mean, he didn't do it at the expense of his own family so that they suffered because of his generosity. But when there was anything to give, he would give it. And when it didn't demand money, he gave his attention. He gave his relationship. He gave his friendship to that.

Generosity has nothing to do with how much you have. It has to do with what you will do with what you have. And God will not reward you with greater wealth if you are stingy with the wealth that you have. I I'm gonna say this, and it's I it's you can look this up. ADHD makes you a a compulsive and obsessive buyer of things. I buy a lot of the same thing. If I find a pair of shoes I like, I'll bear buy, like, six pairs of that shoe because my brain tells me, you may never get these shoe. They may never make this shoe again, and there may never be a sale ever on shoes again. Right? That's the chemicals in my brain just going, you better buy. Right?

we will have left behind a legacy of having damaged people, wounded people, hurt people, broken people down. There will be something that carries on in the minds of those, and they will talk about us only to the extent of maybe their therapist or other family members or other people who they trust to talk about the hurt that we've created in their lives. And then they will do everything they can to forget us, if that's the mark we've made. [00:05:09] (33 seconds)  #AvoidHurtingLegacy
