Core Values

5 Months to Live - Life Goals

Five months to live? What had I had hoped to achieve in my life and what is still achievable in my short time remaining?  Conceiving some 'life goals' in an 'entire life' kind of way is a pretty intangible concept so I'll start idealistic (happy fun land).  Next month I'll get realistic with short term goals and a 'Physical Legacy'.

If you wish to join me and contribute, my challenge for the month is to ask: 

1) What would you like people say about you at your funeral?

2) What are your core values? 

3) What would you strive to achieve if you knew you could not fail.

What would you like people to say about you at your funeral? 

Don't worry about what they would actually say.  That's might be TOO much of a reality at this point.

So here is mine... I hope someone prints this out to read at my funeral.  Actually, all I really need to do is pay someone to read this out.... awww MAN.  All this time spent reflecting, and for WHAT!

Molly was an Anthropologist and Explorer, fascinated by people and what made them tick.  She was deeply committed to learning, never becoming ‘old of mind’.  She continuously strove to become a better person.  She inspired the people around her to think in new ways.  She was a funny friend, an empathic mother, a passionate wife and a thoughtful daughter who cherished her loved ones and made sure they always knew it.  She committed large chunks of her life to protecting the natural environment.  She was obsessed with volunteering as a key to happiness and went out of her way to help others in need.  She vowed never to take her amazing luck and privilege for granted; if she lost perspective she would put herself out of her comfort zone to regain it.  She wrote many books and made films.  She changed the world with a ground-breaking idea.  Her puns were well intentioned.  Her double chin made her more likable.  From the age of 33 she became exceedingly punctual and was never late ever again.

I'll do the super-happy dance if you contribute your funeral speech... part 2) and 3) to come
