?? Exercise: Writing Your Own Obituary - A Reflection on Legacy and Purpose ??

?? Writing Your Own Obituary.

Why? Because it forces us to think deeply about how we want to be remembered, the values we want to embody, and the legacy we wish to leave behind. ??

Here's how you can do it:

1. Reflect on Your Values: What are the core values you want to be remembered for? Integrity, generosity, innovation? ??
2. Consider Your Impact: Think about the impact you want to have on your community, your profession, and your loved ones. What changes or contributions do you hope to make? ??
3. Legacy and Achievements: Beyond professional success, what personal achievements do you want to highlight? This can include mentoring others, philanthropic efforts, or personal challenges overcome. ??
4. Write It Down: Draft an obituary that encapsulates all these elements. Be honest and aspirational. Remember, this is a personal reflection, not a public document. ??
5. Live It Out: Use this obituary as a guidepost for your actions and decisions. Are you living in alignment with the legacy you wish to leave? ??♂???♀?

This exercise isn't about morbidity but about clarity and purpose. It's a reminder to focus on what truly matters and to live each day in alignment with those values. ??

I invite you to try this exercise and share your reflections (as much as you're comfortable with). How did it change your perspective on your current priorities and future aspirations? ??
