What Impact Do You Want To Leave On The World
I answered this question today on a professional networking service I use and thought I would share. I only had a few minutes to answere before running to a meeting, but it was a good start. I would definitely add that I want to leave an impact in the gym by busting ass everyday! 
“Wihtout being real verbose or writing my eulogy - LOL… simply put, a person that helped others achieve their success. I have found that my success will come naturally through that process. There is a lot of detail that could be shared on how I approach that goal…to share a few…
1) Focusing on my personal growth and well being such that I have the energy and knowledge to bring value to others.
2) Focusing on bringing a sense of levity to situations- especially in business- while we deal with very serious topics and many that don’t have clear or black and white answers- it is easy to become over serious or hyper serious when what can bring the proper chemistry to those situations is a sense of relaxation and play- which I have found- opens the door to more creativity, etc.
3) Coaching and helping others discover their true strengths and calling.
4) Positivity or asset based thinking- this versusdeficit based thinking. We are exposed to and peppered with negativity all day long from colleauges, the media, friends, etc.. I focus- best I can- to remain focused on what I have direct control over- which at the minimum is my attitude.
More to come- gotta fun for now. Thanks for the great question and have a fantastic day!”

What a cool question.
I wonder what sort of impact I will leave on the world? Although I don’t sit there and ponder how each of my actions affect things, I know everything we do causes something of a ripple effect. For instance, something as small as reading other people’s blog often effect my thoughts and subsequent future actions. I like the way you approached the impact YOU would like to have on the world. I am sure you already successful in many (all?) of those things you listed.
