Your Legacy Project is a Reflection of Community Involvement
Therefore, it's important you talk about. . .share the ways your legacy project influences others.
When they hear your stories - the stories from your head, heart, and hands - your project is brought to life in extraordinary ways that highlight "Living FROM the Legacy You Intend to Share and Leave."
The following 10 extraordinary ways your legacy project influences others is a start.
Each one can move you forward.
In combinations, your movement is expanded.
Using all of them your project is extended.

your Legacy Project is a co-creative outcome - share an invitation!
Your Legacy Project is seen and felt as you materialize it. In making it happen, you require the assistance of those you serve and those who assist you.
Therefore, your legacy project is a co-creative experience with all that goes with it:
- the excitement, the conflict;
- the ups, the sideways;
- the no, the maybe;
- the tears, the clinking of glasses
- . . .yes, so much happens!
And yet, the stories you can share, the contributions you can make are an outcome of
- the action you take
- the degree of reaction you present
- the creation of ideas you sort through
- the cocreation of insights you dialogue and multilogue
- the ecocreation of an answer to the question you asked as you experienced the excitement, the ups, the no, the tears all while you experienced the conflict, the sideways, the maybes, the clinking of the glasses.
I hope you invite others to experience the same. . .a wonderful and wanderous life it will be!

your intention for your Legacy Project has shifted, and is shifting from the future
Shift Happens! And when the shift is framed from future intentions living life becomes extraordinary indeed!
When you include your legacy project in your living life decisions, then you deepen and enrich your potentiality and possibilities.
While the future encourages you to love the mystery, it requires your diligence to generality, correctness, and simplicity to start, and then, vary each via specificity, waywardness, and complications.
Your project is general, correct, and simple. Next, general, correct, and complicated. . ._or_ specific, wayward, and simple. . ._or_ your combination appropriate in time and space. (adapted from K. Weick's work, GAS model)
Because shift happens, playfulness is a journey companion! Walk on!

your hopes and dreams are linked with your Legacy Project
Hope stimulates you to feel and create something like your legacy project based on your dreams of service with an audience-with recipients you care to involve.
The types of legacy projects are as small as sharing kindness every day as it is to build a school in another country.
Without the hopes and dreams, you do not have the insulation between the joists of the project wall to counter the abruptness of winter.
Without hopes and dreams, you do not have the ways and means to deal with the chilling conflict while implementing your project movement.
Whiteout hopes and dreams, you are unable to unfurl the sails to navigate the winds of change affecting your project.
Your legacy project is borne of hope and dreams, and faith and grace. They are what helps you weather whatever hinders your legacy project.

the core words of your Legacy Project matter as you involve others
Words Matter! Legacy Matters!
And Your Legacy Words Matter EVEN MORE!
Your legacy words are the keywords and phrases you use to explain and describe your legacy. Through the use of your words, you invite and welcome others' involvement in your legacy project.
Words are like the ingredients of your meal ---
- Know the recipe (of your words).
- Trust the recipe.
- Adjust the Recipe.
- Use your ingredients wisely!
Also, words are things, as matter. Some are positive and others negative. Use them wisely! Because involvement leads to evolvement. One of your outcome gifts for those who journey with you.

persons can link their Legacy Project with your Legacy Project
You have your Legacy Project. And when you realize it's a system nested in other systems, is when you seek other Legacy Projects with whom you can develop and implement a strategic alliance.
Those who benefit from your project will benefit more from the alliance just as those who benefit from the other person's project will benefit because of the alliance.
Collaborative conversations about resource allocation encourage collaborative conservation of the allocated resources. (You might want to read this sentence again))smiles
Let not the poor leadership, management, and administration of your project be the nullifier of your wholehearted work. The same is (possibly) true for the other project managers and leaders. Dialogue about the ways and means both projects can (and will) experience collective accomplishments through shared learning and development.
MAYBE, a cooperative of three or more projects could benefit all. The question arises, "Is More Better?"

involvement in your Legacy Project frames the future from the best of the past
When others get involved with your legacy project, like you, they bring the best of the past to the table for use.
These "best practices". . .on the surface may appear to work. More often you have to adapt and/or adopt elements of the best practices to make YOUR "wise practices" from the future.
Therefore, do not action best practices before you know your "tomorrow today intentions". Otherwise, you will fall short of your design, target, objective, etc.
A wise person (Dr. Shawn Duperon) shared with me:
- Know the Rules
- Trust the Rules
- Break the Rules
Apply this wisdom to the practices (and concepts) you are ready, able, and willing to apply. And experience the wise (wisdom-based) consequences, conditions, and circumstances rather than the best of them.

persons can share their insights for use with your Legacy Project
When you collect insights, persons are willing to share with you about your legacy project, the further ahead you make the project available for all.
Their insights - in their words - are like experiencing the wonderment of nature on your hikes.
Their insights - while useful - are also helpful and eventful. Helpful in the sense of the "awareness of importance meets satisfaction." Eventful in the sense of the "practicality of values meet direction."
*Ways: Facebook Group leave a Message - Twitter Personal Message - Linked Message - Website Contact Form - YouTube Comment - and others. Remain alert where & when sharing your telephone number and email (you could set up a Gmail account to screen messages).

persons can get involved in your Legacy Project
Note the use of "persons" rather than people because it is about involving each person from the heart, then the head and hands.
Whether it's how to get a friend or family member involved or someone from your direct/indirect social groups.
Equally important is the marketing copy you use to involve your customer-client-fan in your legacy project.
Herein is the importance of YOU answering "How-to" and "Why". And, not from a superficial level. Link the words you use to the persons' hearts, not their heads, and see what happens.
