Something to think about: There’s a saying, “those shoes are hard to fill.”
Here’s a thought– Why not fill your own shoes? Why not allow your shoes to be the only ones you can fill?
This leads to role-modeling-role modeling is necessary in order to have a source of reference to someone or something when aspiring to accomplish a certain goal or to fulfill a purpose. Its good a goal or mission is accomplished. But, what about you setting the standard? How do you view yourself? Are you presenting yourself in a manner others can follow? If your footsteps are the one others follow then where are they leading? What would others encounter on the path you’ve trodden?
Consider this– If your footsteps are not what others consider hard to fill, it’s not too late to get your steps in alignment and blaze a trail of worthy of leaving a legacy behind.

You’re very correct Yvonne, such a good reminder. we ought to get validated from time to time.
Blessings!

Wow, this is such a great post. This sentence in particular grabbed my attention: “Here’s a thought– Why not fill your own shoes?” No two people’s paths are exactly the same, so why not forge your own?
