Legacy

I was just reading the blog of my friend Elaine
http://www.elainekwilliams.com/

She is planning on writing a book and for the content she asked her followers a question, and I answered:

''Are you consciously living a life that will become a legacy for those who follow you? If yes, what will your legacy be? If no, would you be willing to share why you are not?''

My answer would be yes, but I am only just beginning to. My ideas for my future are that I want to do something that other people can follow. It puts me in mind of a saying -

''The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit; And habit hardens into character''

(This quote is often attributed to Buddha but it's not actually a Buddhist quote!)

So if I can change the way one person thinks about an issue, in some small way, it changes the world.

That's what I want my legacy to be.

Any thoughts?
