Leave A Legacy Of Faith: Lift Yourself Up

An important of McLeod Bethune’s rich legacy are success principles that she lived and taught. Take special note of her principle-driven words; seek to live them out.

LIFT YOURSELF UP
I plunged into the job of creating something from nothing . . . Though I hadn’t a penny left, I considered cash money as the smallest part of my resources. I had faith in a living God, faith in myself, and a desire to serve.

Ask yourself:

In what ways can I strengthen my faith so my spiritual resources are just as — even more important — on my success journey than my Þnancial resources?

LEAVE A LEGACY OF FAITH
I leave you love. I leave you hope. I leave you the challenge of developing conÞdence in one another. I leave you respect for the use of power. I leave you faith. . . . Believe in yourself, learn, and never stop wanting to build a better world.

Ask yourself:

Which part of McLeod Bethune’s legacy means most to me?

 

What legacy can I leave for others to follow that will help them on their success journey?
