 That's like in all these footprints in the sand the famous poem about the footprints in the sand and It occurred to me that I think sometimes in life we Think our job our role is to follow the footprints of those that went before us, but I'm getting I'm getting Wet here Either way, I didn't expect to pick up to near the ocean I Think sometimes we Think the footprints are the sacredness of those that went before us so we follow the footprints as it were of those that Paved the way for us and I understand the sentiment and I understand the heart and spirit of that I don't respect and honor for those that went before us, but you know the footprints are not what's sacred What was in their hearts is what's sacred the methodology and the people involved and the way that they thought Is not sacred What's sacred is the values and the vision that they had that's the sacred part of What we should be following so I wouldn't want to pass on to the emerging generation that you must Walk in my footprints meaning do it like I did it with the people that I did it with with the methodologies And the mindsets that I used Because that version of me that first of all set those footprints Is a long past version of me and version of whatever it is that would involve in The business or the church or the organization or the political party So the footprints are not sacred today. You are not obliged to follow in our footprints I think you're more obliged. We are more obliged to follow the sacredness of what was in the heart that created those footprints So follow the heart of The generation that went before us Follow what you admire and love about their heart their spirit their vision their dream But make your own footprints Forge your own path People will accuse you of not following I've been loyal to their footsteps. They'll do that, but I want to teach you something today from this speech in Rio, Brazil That the footprints are not sacred The heart that created the footprints is where the eternal sacred things live Let's follow the heart. Let's remember and catch the heart Let's not get confused between that and the footprints that those hearts made footprints are not sacred The heart of the people that created those footprints is where all the sacred stuff is Follow that
