Yes, you. You, reading this.
From Jimmy, to you. On purpose.
For real.
All you have to do is open your hands, and your heart, to accept.
Here is the legacy:
The power to make the love of the life you share with this earth and other creatures your vocation, and find love smiling back at you everywhere you look.
The opportunity to embrace a life of service to others and place your skills and your experience, your passion and your joy into that service. You will never have a private jet, but you will have rewards that cannot be purchased with any currency.
The ability to accept victory and success with humility, and defeat and failure with grace, and what you learn will become your superpower.
The understanding to be inspired and strengthened by your spiritual beliefs, to own them and their gift to you honestly, without demanding others have the same beliefs or any beliefs at all.
The strength to be kind. Over, and over again, all the time.
A smile.
Accepting this legacy may cost you much that you currently value. But it will bring you more joy than you can imagine, for all the days you remain here.
Thank you, Mister President. Rosalyn's heart's companion. Beloved Dad. A world's inspiration. Peanut farmer. Home builder. Jimmy.
I will do my best to accept, and cherish this gift.
hopefully,
Bright
