Isabel’s Dream

A few years ago I had this thought: We all seem to have two universal tasks more or less tacitly transmitted to us – 1) find something to do, something we are good at; and 2) find a life partner, someone to love. And I wondered: What if we had a third task, to do one thing during our lifetime that makes a significant difference, that justifies our existence, the reason why we were given this life? It would be something special through which we have an impact on others and on the world, making it a better place. What would the world look like, if we all had one significant task to accomplish?

It was with this dream in mind that I decided to become a Legacy Coach – my way to use my gifts to help others identify and shape their legacy.
