More Than A Name?

It's a mission. It's a goal. It's a way of life. You live so that after you are gone people not only remember you for who you were, but what you did. You live as as if everyday is you're last. You live your life to effect the lives of other people in a positive way.
I wish there was a recipe for living your life to the fullest. A step-by-step set of instructions to guide you through your decisions and your actions. Like:
Step 1) Eat cereal for breakfast.
Step 2) Say yes to the job opportunity.
Step 3) Make sure to look out for the toddler behind you when you are pulling out of your parking spot after work.
Etc. etc.
We all know it isn't though. Our lives are long roads with infinite exits and turns at every point. True, there is no road map to get us to our destination, but our senses provide all the information we need to draw our own map as we go through life. Where we will end up depends on what we choose. Who knows where we are in the end? That depends on what we do.
