Caring for my elderly father and approaching retirement myself, I’ve been thinking about what people would say when I’m gone.
I have an idea of what I’d like people to say, but that doesn’t matter so much if I’m not living that way.
What evidence am I currently giving that shows I am living in the way I’d like to be remembered? Who could I check in with?
And if I find there’s some work to do, now it the perfect time to be who I aspire to be.
One thing I admire about my dad is that he did the hard things, without telling people they were hard things. He served, he tried to make good decisions, he looked to lighten others' loads.
That seems like a good place to start.
Try this ONE thing
What about you, are you being the person you want to be remembered as? There’s no time like the present to start.
Want to experience coaching? I like to start with a deep, get-to-know-you conversation to see if we are right for each other. Sometimes we talk for one or two hours at no charge. I have no goal except to bring about transformation. Together we work on the lies, the self-deception, the fears of the power you perceive to be outside yourself. We work on your difficulties in making decisions and your inability thus far to make bold choices in life and to follow through and trust yourself completely to do so.
The irony for some people is that the very thing that they want the coaching for (an indecisive, half-hearted life) is what’s keeping them from deciding whether to get coaching.
