Phil 3:13-14
"... But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

The people we come in contact with are part of our legacy. How we treat the waitress, talk with the friend of a friend or work for the Lord determines the legacy we will leave behind.
This could be a hard lesson to hear because of:
-Repeated failures
-Regret over past decisions
*Is it TOO late? Never, change is always possible.
Phil 3:8-14 - Don't give up.
