1366. Begin with the end in mind

Stephen covey brought this idea to the world, it’s probably been said different in the past but the point drives home.

Start with the end, and work backwards.

Maybe our end goal is to be financially free or have grandkids or reach a 30 year anniversary

But something we all share in common is our death bed.

Sure we may all die differently : gruesome, wholesome, unexpected, expected

But we’re all gonna die, maybe it’s scary but it’s a fact of life.

Death is what makes life beautiful.

Planning goes along way with death.

How would your death go?

  • Ideally it’s natural
  • Peaceful, mentally not holding grudges or conflicts with others, saying goodbyes.
  • Accepting, Spending time reflecting on my meaning of life and feeling that it was a life well lived, accepting that all good things come to an end
  • Have everything set up in advanced, like the funeral and will.
