A word on building legacy with writing
No small thing, so give yourself time on this one
Take a moment today and envision what your actions today-- both large and small-- might have on the world a year from now, and what chain reaction of events those actions might have rippled out and caused decades from now.
Take a moment and envision or journal about the ways in which the notion of public voice or creative work might manifest for you in the year and years ahead. What might it look like? What might it have accomplished? To what power might it have spoken truth? Take the vision, and gently massage it into an “I will…” declaration and allow the ideas to surface. Not a “to do” list, but a moment of contemplation of what the fullest expression of it all might be, might feel like, might do, where it might take you, what laws it might change, and what doors it might open. The aim of the activity isn’t to put more on your plate, but to open yourself to imagining the biggest possible expression of what your daily work might mean and then to allow that idea to sit with you.
