1. First, let me express my gratitude ...

Hi! Dolly here -- thanks from me and Creating Legacy for taking a few minutes to complete this quiz!

There are just 4 questions that follow - and no wrong answers! I hope you find the exercise thought-provoking as others have. And I'll look forward to reading your responses.

At CreatingLegacy.com my passion is to make the world a better place. May this work inspire you in some small way to do just that - to give back in the significant way that only you can from your own sense of joy and passion. I know some corner of the world will be better for it.

Feel free to pass along our newsletter containing this survey link to others (young and older, anywhere around the globe). Please contact me if you have questions or additional ideas to share.

With sincere appreciation,
Dolly M. Garlo, RN, JD, PCC

OKAY, LET'S GET STARTED:

ONE
"This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind... let it be something good."
-Anon.

What does "legacy" mean to you - as you think of it in the narrowest or broadest sense?

-C. H. (Charles Haddon) Spurgeon

If you were to consider creating a legacy, what would it involve and what form(s) might it take?

FOUR - BONUS QUESTION!
"Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the last generation."
-Abraham Lincoln, Second Annual Message to the U.S. Congress, December 1, 1862

===> "Great!" - I have been successful in work and life - financially, in career/business, spiritually and with family and significant relationships. I contribute time and money to good causes and have financial and estate plans in place. I'm ready to begin making a bigger positive impact in the world by building something that gives back in an ongoing and positively meaningful way.

===> "Pretty Darn Well, I'd Say." - I am successful in my career and save and invest a good portion of my income. I have close relationships with family and try to be involved in my community. I periodically do some volunteer work or make a charitable contribution to an organization doing good things in the world. I'd like to consciously and consistently focus more on making a bigger positive difference in the world, but am not sure how. I need more information to figure that out.	===> "Pretty Darn Well, I'd Say." - I am successful in my career and save and invest a good portion of my income.

===> "I'm On Track." -- My career, business and finances are proceeding smoothly, though I'm not yet where I'd like to be. My relationships with family, colleagues and others are generally solid (though a few still pose a challenge); and I occasionally contribute my time to good causes. Giving back and making a difference somehow are something I occasionally think about, but I have personal matters to handle before I could start.	===> "I'm On Track." -- My career, business and finances are proceeding smoothly, though I'm not yet where I'd like to be.

===> "Building My Foundation." - I am just pulling it together financially and in terms of my relationships, but I don't participate much in community events or with local organizations. I feel pretty far from a sense of abundance and prosperity from which to give back much -- and I'd like to change that by at least contributing some of my time and effort to something.	===> "Building My Foundation." - I am just pulling it together financially and in terms of my relationships, but I don't participate much in community events or with local organizations.

===> "Not There Yet" - I'm building a career or business, but haven't really thought much about abundance, prosperity, the significance of truly close relationships, my community, financial freedom or my ability to create much of that in my life. But I'll consider how I might make a difference.	===> "Not There Yet" - I'm building a career or business, but haven't really thought much about abundance, prosperity, the significance of truly close relationships, my community, financial freedom or my ability to create much of that in my life.
