Have you ever looked up at the night sky and located the North Star? You can find it extending from the outer edge of the bowl of the Big Dipper. But when you see it, you are looking at the distant past. It has taken the light from Polaris (the North Star) 433 years to reach your eyes.
One day, Polaris will burn out and disappear, but when it’s gone it will still leave a 433 year legacy of light for the people of earth to enjoy. What kind of legacy will you leave behind? And how long will it last? Will your children, grandchildren and generations to come benefit from your example?
Be a North Star. You won’t be here forever, but your influence can shine long after you depart.
