Yesterday, I did not even have to turn on the TV before I found out that Nelson Mandela had passed. I saw it on every FaceBook status, every Instagram photo, and every Twitter status. That is just the kind of man he was and the type of life he led, one that left an impact on not just his sphere of influence but the world as a whole. It got me to thinking some more on how I want to be remembered. Nelson Mandela once said "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the life of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead". As you go about your daily life, think about what you are doing to make life better not just for yourself but for those around you. There is a lot we can all do to impact change, not necessarily in the world but maybe in our neighborhood or city or county. Who knows where/what that will lead to... I'm speaking to myself here too.
