Rest in Peace.....live with purpose!
My mentor Darren Hardy, sent me the first segment of a new 10 day series he is speaking about over the next two weeks.Today's message hit right to the core of what my Journey over the last 3 years has been about.Simply, he shared,write your eulogy today.What does that mean?
Lead the life that you want people to remember you by.
Early on in my Journey, I was haunted by this, my need to be significant, to make a difference.Somewhere along the way,I have experienced a shift away from that haunted feeling. It has become the WHY of my life.It no longer eats away at me, it inspires me ,it encourages me. It brings me the strength to live each day as the best me I can possibly be.This "need" for significance no longer gnaws at me, it nourishes me.
For many years I would attend funerals and come away with suggestions to my family as to what I would like my funeral to look like or feel like.
Today ,that has changed.Today I hope that the life I lead will set the platform for what that day will look like when indeed it does come.I no longer obsess over it. I just do it.
The message has not changed for me.As I have heard said many times by Chris Widener, world renowned author and motivational speaker, "when I reach the end of my days, I want to be able to say,I made a difference".The one thing I have learned over the last 3 years is that each day I am here, I have the opportunity to be that difference maker.
As for my eulogy.....I let someone else figure that out.
