When you think about what will be written on your tombstone, it can give you a true north direction for your life. The human experience is to know that our lives mattered. Have you ever imagined what the people closest to you will say about you after you have died? Have your spouse and your close friends write your eulogy as if you are dead. Then consider the "Coffin Exercise," where each person reads what they wrote to you. When Rick read the eulogy that his wife wrote for him, he was surprised to find that she only focused on his positives and he felt incredibly appreciated. After death, most of our negatives are forgotten. Understanding this concept allows us to appreciate the people closest to us more, while also giving us the fuel to live a more empowered life.
