1. This is the best description of building a legacy that I have found:
   
   
   
   Mrs. Bauer's daffodils are a picture of how to build a legacy.
   
   Gene Bauer planted a garden of daffodils on a mountainside. Each spring that mountainside is awash in yellow. Visitors come to marvel at the beauty. And they come with questions. So Mrs. Bauer posted a fact sheet about her monumental daffodil extravaganza.
   
   The fact sheet says:
   
   * More than 1 million bulbs have been planted.
   * The planting has been done over 46 years.
   * Some bulbs that were planted in 1958 are still blooming.
   * Gene Bauer selected and planted every bulb you see.
   
   Do a thing well. Stay faithful, plant carefully, persevere . . . and transform your surroundings in the high calling of our daily work.
   
   You can find the link to this in resources at the end of this article.
2. Keep relationships strong. Our daily lives can keep us so busy that it is hard to find time to spend with those that we love. Spending time with the ones that mean the most in our lives is the most important step in building a legacy. It is the key that unlocks who you are.
   
   "You can't do anything about the length of your life but you can do something about it's width and depth"
3. Remember that your legacy is not about how much money you had or what you owned, these things will fade away in time. Your legacy is about you. It's about the impact you made on the lives of others (whether positive or negative).
4. It is not to late to start building your legacy. No matter what your story has told about you so far today you can add a new chapter. Today you can begin building a legacy that will last forever.
