I met the other day with my friend, Randy Turner, who is doing some really good work (which I won't go into in this post). Randy shared a very interesting quote with me:
Our children are living messages we send to a time we will not see.
(William Raspberry)
For more on William Raspberry read here.
This quote really hit me and I thought about it for a bit. I believe those of us who teach and train and coach and mentor can say something similar about the people with whom we work. They become living messages, imprinted with our own influence and they go to times and places and people we will never see.
It is a moving thought for me. I hope it is for you. May the living message we imprint today on others, be a worthy one.
