Writing your own obituary may not be easy, but it can provide an opportunity for honest reflection on your life. If it is hard for you, try pretending that you have just won an award and the newspaper is doing a feature story on your accomplishments. By recording what you wish to be remembered or acknowledged for, you will be able to identify the values you would like to live by. And, by identifying your life’s values you will be more able to live them now and in the future. You’ll discover your TRUE goals.
