Why you should write your obituary...WHILE YOU'RE ALIVE!

Hi Everyone,

If you're in a rut and having trouble discovering what you want to do with your life, consider writing your own obituary.

Is it morbid? Maybe! But who cares...sometimes in life you have get out of your comfort zone and get creative to make things happen.

Here's how it works.

Ask yourself the question..."HOW DO I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED?"

This will force you to look at your life from a big picture perspective. Then take the accomplishments you listed and make them your goals.

Here's my latest example...

PETER RONALD WINK (XX), an accomplished promoter, passed away unexpectedly on XXX, in Los Angeles, CA. He was born on July 30, 1966 in Chicago, IL to Ronald and Stephanie Wink. Peter was a devoted, loyal and loving husband, son, uncle, and friend. He has been active in the American Marketing Association, Illinois ArmWrestling Federation, and served several homeowner's associations. Peter was also a philanthopist who donated to children's fitness charities and opened his own library dedicated to self-help. Peter was also a recording artist, talk show host, author, public speaker, fitness enthusiast, and a top sports marketer. He loved loud music, drumming, singing, the outdoors, bike riding, fast cars, pro wrestling, ultimate fighting, Tae Kwon Do, and helping others. Peter lived life each day and fully appreciated everything around him. He was always an optimist with an off-beat sense of humor who chose his friends wisely. Peter was deeply loved and will be missed by his family, friends and all whose lives he touched. He is survived by his loving wife Stephanie. Friends and family in Chicago are encouraged to celebrate his passing as just another chapter in the Peter Wink journey. There will be no service, funeral, or any of that kind of trash. Just remember him, look up, and give him a "Wink."

This is how I want to be remembered as of today. As you can see...some of these things I've accomplished and some have yet to be realized. You have to start somewhere!

So get writing!

Until next time...
Peter
