I have a saying that is permanently written on one of the white boards in my office.  As the projects come and go, the one saying stays as an overarching reminder. 

“What have you done to change the world today?”

I remember I had a professor in college that would ask that simple question of the students as he roamed the campus. I’m not sure how many students over the years were impacted by it.  But the first day I ran into him and he launched his signature question, He changed me – forever.  That question lives with me, no, it haunts me.

So every day, I attempt to answer the question that stares at me.  How have I changed the world today?  Most days it in small ways, some days I hit a home run.  But every day I attempt to leave my mark on the world around me by sowing into the lives God has chosen to place in my life. 

In real estate, we have an incredible honor to deeply touch those we work with.  We see people in the depths of despair, stress and worry.  We see them in the heights of elation as long held dreams are realized.  The one common thing in both circumstances is that we have an opportunity to leave our mark, good or bad, forever.  Be purposed in what you do and why you do it – you leave a legacy whether you realize it or not.
