Today we celebrated the lives of Bill and Max Henningsgaard of Bellevue, WA. During the memorial service I continued to be reminded of the poem “The Dash” by Linda Ellis. One of my mentor’s, Todd Durkin, often brings up this poem in our TD Mentorship and TD Masterminders retreat. “Would you be proud of the things they say- About how you spent your dash?”.
I was amazed and impressed (but not surprised) on how many GROUPS of people spoke at the service today. Bill had his childhood friends, his past “roomies” and family members. Max had his camp friends, crew friends, Lakeside friends and more. I started to realize that I have gotten so consumed in my life as a small business owner and athlete that I have lost contact with most of my childhood friends, room mates, college friends and friends when I was single. Honestly, I am thankful for Facebook that we can re-connect with past friends from different stages in life but I need to take the next step. My goal is to initiate plans and dinners with friends once a month. Time flies…we get busy with our own lives but we need to enjoy every day as it is the last.
What inspires you?
What can you do today to leave an impact in our society?
What are you passionate about in life?
Bill and Max were passionate about many things including trying to “Do Better”.

Now take five minutes and think about what your “DASH” will be… what do you want your legacy to be when you leave?
