Today I watched a fascinating Ted Talk with Lux Narayan describing his findings after studying obituaries for 20 months. He compared the most used words in obituaries of famous and non-famous people.
I was happily surprised by the fact that one of the most used words is HELP.
We will be remembered by what we do, more than by who we are, or what we have.
Amazingly enough, we crawl thru our lives giving such a great importance to what we gather and what we conquer, while knowing that our main goal is the things we do, especially for others, and how we make our surroundings, be our house or our planet, a better place.
We mostly forget that we are writing our own obituary, one day at a time. Each action deposits your journey in a line. Your obituary is not something done after you pass to the next plan. It's something done now, done by you, each and every day.
What are you writing in our obituary today?
Interesting....
ReplyDelete"Help" I hope that i can always see and never dismiss the opportunity help others and also be humble enough to accept help form others in my life.
