What is your Legacy?

Saturday was a very cool day in Ozark Mountain Country. Two big celebrations lasted the entire weekend. Hollister celebrated their Centennial and Silver Dollar City had their 50th birthday party. What can we learn?

Sacrifice: The Herschend Family is one of the wealthiest and most successful families in the country. However, they do not get the credit they deserve for the sacrifice and hard work in the early days. Hugo, Mary, Jack and Pete left Chicago, where they were comfortable and enjoyed most of the conveniences of the day. When they moved to Stone County, they did without the conveniences of indoor plumbing, running water, electricity, etc and they worked. What do you need to sacrifice to reach your goals?

Hard work: The Hollister and Silver Dollar City communities have worked hard in their history. Jack Herschend tells the story of carrying sacks of concrete into Marvel Cave. Similar stories could be told of the Hollister pioneers. Are you willing to work hard to achieve?

Regroup: Not every decision made by Hollister or The Herschends worked out the way that they wanted them to. Mistakes were made. But each seemed to admit those mistakes and get back on course. It always amazes me how some people will allow mistakes to embarrass them to the point that they are afraid to move forward. If you are not making mistakes, you are not doing anything. Admit the mistakes, realign, and recommit.

As you look at your life and the legacy you want to leave with your family, will your day to day actions lead you to success?
Will they talk about how much TV you watched, how you were focused on your computer all the time or will they talk about you being a get it done type of person? Your call and you can change it starting today.
