Obituaries are not only used in death – they can also be a guide to a purposefully lived life. In this podcast, Mike O’Connell reflects on the inspiration he draws from the poem, “Success,” by Ralph Waldo Emerson, and how writing your own obituary can provide you with life-changing self-evaluations.

If you sat down today to write your own obituary, essentially the resume of your life, would you feel satisfied by how you lived? If you died today, would you die happy? Did you create a legacy you are proud of? Whatever the answers to these questions, penning an obituary and a fantasy obituary (explained in the podcast) will inevitably generate countless, soul-searching questions that lead to thoughtful examinations of your life.

It is never too late for life changes, achieving goals, or finding additional happiness. Listen to Mike walk you through the exercise and enthusiastically shed light on possibilities and how to make them realities.
