Said about you and your life if you died today
In the event of my untimely demise, I hope my reputation will be one of courage, dedication, and generosity. I would strive to be more open-minded, dependable, and prudent if I knew I would not die today. I want to be remembered as someone who took courageous action following my beliefs, gave my all to all my endeavors, and whose generosity became legendary. Not to exaggerate my significance but to leave a legacy of sound decision-making.
If someone were to witness a week of my life, my authenticity should be their firsthand assumption. I value genuineness and being authentic in relationships. I would like them to observe how I treat my loved ones, connect with friends and acquaintances, and approach conversations with strangers. I want my life to be full of genuine relationships despite how challenging it is to find and cultivate such bonds in modern society.
One of the values I hold most dear is discipline, which is often overlooked. I stick to a schedule by noting what needs to be done and setting alerts on my phone, but I inevitably need to catch up. In the end, it is the little things that make a difference. I believe that, but keeping that belief alive is difficult. Maintaining my usual routine is challenging when I am in a bad mood. Practicing discipline can feel like an uphill battle when all you want to do is sleep. Discipline is admirable, but I cannot cultivate it in my life.
My three main goals are financial security, consistent creative ability, and, most importantly, contentment with one’s lot in life. I will keep these three elements in mind as I choose my future. While it is great to feel at ease, the greatest challenge is breaking out of my routine. True growth and significant progress occur in environments outside one’s comfort zone. In order to achieve my goals in life, I will need to take some calculated risks. As a means of self-improvement, I need to keep making mistakes. For me, that has been the defining factor in the success of my professional life.
Design your own funeral services
My favorite funeral service song is “See you again” by Wiz Kalifa. The food served during the service should be casseroles because of their ability to comfort the grieving easily. It would be humbling to have my best friend Antony speak a few words at my funeral. Since we were young, we have been close friends and shared many of our lives. Even more impressively, he is honest and will not embellish his tributes with personalities whose likenesses I do not possess.
I am not looking forward to a large funeral service. My family and friends need time and space to grieve and say their final goodbyes to me, and a small, intimate service will provide just that. Finally, it would be a great honor to have my organs donated to those who are in desperate need of them. If my requests are granted, those closest to me will learn to appreciate each day they are given and the blessing of a healthy body.
