* Keep others in mind.
Seek to inspire and motivate people to live righteously themselves when they see your example.
Consider what people will likely remember about you after you die.
Keep your legacy in mind as you make daily decisions, recognizing that small choices now actually have big significance in the long run.
Show people that you are willing to do the right thing even when it’s unpopular or difficult.
Embrace what’s right even when the situation seems to indicate that your actions won’t matter.
Surround yourself with friends of good character, realizing that they will influence you just as you will influence them.
Make them your allies.
Encourage each other, support each other, and hold each other accountable.
Do your best to solve problems that matter to others; in the process, you’ll create partners who will also want to help create a better world.
Join others in service work and work in teams, knowing that you can often accomplish more together than you would alone.
* Make yourself accountable.
Build close relationships with at least a few people you trust who will hold you accountable for your thoughts and actions on a regular basis.
Let those accountability checks support and encourage you to live as faithfully as you can.
Whenever you do make mistakes, confess, repent, and accept God’s forgiveness and grace to do better.
Don’t lose hope; remember that God can transform even the worst mistakes into catalysts for His kingdom work.
Know that you can rest in His love no matter what you’ve done and move into a destiny that He has already redeemed through His sacrifice on the cross.
Don’t harbor secret sins.
Give every area of your life to God each day, knowing that if you cooperate with Him, He will bless your life with true significance.
* Share your life with others.
Recognize the fact that your life can’t be truly significant unless you share it with others.
Don’t isolate yourself.
Stop being too busy to build close relationships; slow down enough to make relationships a top priority.
Come clean with God and with others by not hiding anything and being willing to be honest and open.
Rather than focusing on what other people can do for you, focus on what you can do for them.
Use your natural talents and spiritual gifts to the fullest by contributing to your community.
Understand that investing in others is essential to living a significant life.
* Let your relationships help you grow.
Know that the more you interact with others, the more you can develop a significant life.
Prioritize your community commitments.
Communicate with compassion and learn how to deal with conflict wisely and extend healthy accountability.
Pursue forgiveness and grace.
Persevere through the tough times, remaining committed to your relationships.
Bear each other’s burdens during struggles and celebrate good times together.
Be assured that your life will take on great significance during the daily process of interacting with other people.
