Are You Living For Your Eulogy?

Hello World,

Do you pay attention to your material possessions and status more frequently than your morals and values? Do you think when you are on your deathbed you will be concerned about your job or the money you have? ... OR ... Do you think you will be reminiscing about your life experiences and the time spent with loved ones?

Often people believe that materialistic things and lots of money will make them happier. However, it's actually who we have that is more important than what we have. You must first be who you really are. Being who you really are and doing what you were put on this earth to do is what makes an incredible eulogy. With that said, I believe that an ideal eulogy-worthy life is more achievable when we choose to live a simple life.
Our days on Earth always seem to be long, but the years seem to fly by. We tend to lose sight of where we are going on this adventure. We don’t identify that our daily decisions will greatly affect the big picture we’re painting with our life.
For myself, I have been thinking a lot about what my eulogy would say. And I’ve been recognizing some room for improvement. I am taking the following steps to improve my life starting today:
  • Be mindful when it comes to relationship investment and use of time. 
  • Don't let anyone in your life question just how much you appreciate what their presence has done for you in your journey. 
  • It’s vital that the most important person in our world understands the greatness of our devotion and appreciation. 
  • Give without hesitation or regret. Make sacrifices for others to see them be happy and to help them thrive.
  • Make time for relaxation and self-care.
  • Keep the faith and produce positive vibes. Never lose sight of God. 
  • Invest in experiences to create lasting memories with loved ones.
  • Go at your own pace. Don't compare yourself to others.

If you died today, what would you regret not being able to do? 
It’s never too late to redesign a life that leaves a legacy!
