Succession ! Succession !! Succession !!!

Are you so focused about succeeding today that there is no thought about any long-term contribution you could make?
If God has given you a vision for something that will outlive you, are you willing to pay the price for it ?
A legacy is a dream that changes not only your life but also the lives of all the people it touches
