Message Left Behind

"Our own life has to be our message."

Thich Nhat Hanh

We strive to reach our goals even though they may be altered.  We use our creativity to express what we sense to be true in the world.  Then there are the dreams for justice and peace or for a healthy family or spiritual connection.  Our goals, creativity, and dreams compile the message we leave in the end.

Our message is not so much of what we say but how are actions portrayed us as a human being.  We may have opened a peek into our persona if we were creative or lived our dreams.    The message left behind however, is a combination of our entire existence.

So this triggers thoughts of emotions I have displayed and actions I have taken while realizing these are just pieces of my life.  Then there are the many roles I played ... wife, mother, counselor, energy worker and presenter ... but these do not reflect me entirely either.  I find my lovely self sifting through all of these components, wondering when all is said and done, what my message shall be.
