What Will People Say About You When You Are Gone?
Ask yourself these 7 tough questions to find out
What will people say about you when you are gone?
Now, you might think, ‘Why do I actually need to care what people will say about me when I am gone? I am gone… I won’t hear it anyway. So, is it even important?’
Well, change your point of view and look at it from the living side. Walking through life, it’s helpful to pause once in a while and reflect on who you are and where you are on your life path.
Thinking about how you want to be remembered gives you a tool to find out who you intend to be, and who you would like to become.
The Beauty Of Reverse Planning
The idea of using the perspective from our final destination and taking a look back from that point of view is familiar to us from projects, work, or any activity aiming at a desired outcome. We do reverse planning and look at the goal and go backwards to the present to figure out the timeline, checkpoints, and action steps to reach that goal.
This process of reverse planning has shown to increase motivation and goal expectancy. It helps us focus on a positive outcome.
