Now, write your personal obituary

Now that we have agreement on our assumptions, the next thing to do is write your own obituary. How do you want to be known once you are dead? What will you have become? What do you want people to remember about you once you've moved on to whatever, if anything, comes next.

Steven Covey says to begin with the end in mind. This obituary will tell you what you see as how you will be at the end. If you died this morning, would you have accomplished everything you'd hoped? What do you need to do to make sure you have?

Some chess players think of what they want the final checkmate position to be. They they conduct their play so that they get to that end point. Where do you want to end up?

Even if you think this is weird, try it. The worst that can happen is that it doesn't work for you.

I'm trying to help people network more productively. Is this helping?

It powers my approach to writing. See www.kearneymusicschoolmurders.blogspot.com where you can read my mystery for free, download it for free or buy it from Amazon.com more cheaply than you can print it.

It fuels my publishing outlet, By and for Writers. See www.byandforwriters.blogspot.com where you can get a poem or a short story published.
