Obituary

I have done this exercise three times now, and it's always different and usually better. It's interesting to see how my goals change from year to year. And the funny thing is my career goals never change, but my life goals change. Once I never wanted to have children, then I defiantly wanted to have children, now I'm sort of indifferent. Once I had no husband, next he was a Pastor, now a politician.

Growth is such an important part of living. Every time I hear someone say, "so and so changed, I always stay true" or "what's the difference between 18 and 21" I think to myself, being stagnant and not experience growth is not something of which to be proud. If you are the same at 21 as you were at 18, what have you been doing for three years, how did you make your life and the world a better place.

Someone once told me to write down as many aspects of my life that I could think of and list the ways the improve the person I am; If they don't enhance my life get rid of them. This concept is deeply rooted in writing one's obituary and something by which I live.
