The 2009 July / August issue of American Photo contains a thought provoking article.
See: "Life's Lost Treasures," p 57 - 80.
It's on Life Magazine.
After showing photos from this great photo magazine, American Photo devotes two pages to the extraordinary photographers (22 Legends of Life) who took the photos.
Here, they provide a brief description of each of these photographers, using about 30 words.
Imagine, having your entire life's work summarized with about 30 words.
So, let's jump forward. And let's assume that someone were to summarize your life with 30 words.
What would they write?
Now, here's a trick.
Write the 30 words now. (Use a few more or less if it fits.)
In fact, write a brief description of the legacy that you want to leave.
And then plan a life that makes that summary become true.
Key Point: Once you know the ending, you can plan the rest of the story.
Much success,
