It\u2019s what you create every day. And with a dark pandemic driving 51% of us to think more about our mortality, it\u2019s high time we started today. Join CJ McClanahan on Success 2.0 as Alan Weiss, PhD, identifies how to create your legacy \u2013 today. What We Discuss in this Episode:  Life is not about a search for meaning, it\u2019s creating meaning. It\u2019s not a search that has a destination, it\u2019s happening organically every day. Creating meaning entails identifying why the world is different because you lived in it. Have you led a trusting life, have you planted a garden, have you impacted someone in your circle? The last 30 years have created enormous pressure to compare to ourselves to others. Further, instead of becoming more knowledgeable, we\u2019ve just gotten louder. In focusing on the needs of others, you help yourself. When you teach others, you learn more than they do. The act of helping others builds you as a person. Celebrate when you identify that you\u2019re drowning in stress and information. Isolate the sources that are the most valid to help you become the person you want to be. Whether you\u2019re an optimist or a pessimist will determine how your life plays out that day. We must train our brains to move toward the positive end of the spectrum more frequently. Part of being alive and finding meaning is being in touch with the physical world around you. We don\u2019t focus on the simple, because we\u2019ve convinced ourselves that the simple can\u2019t be true.
