Live Life the Way You Want to Be Remembered
A profound idea from a five-minute TED Talk by David Brooks (watch here) sparked a shift in how I think about life’s priorities. It introduced the concept of Resume Goals and Eulogy Goals—two distinct ways of defining success and fulfillment. Building on my previous article, Lifestyle Millionaire, which advocates for a balanced approach to life—physical health, mental and emotional well-being, relationships, financial freedom, self-improvement, quality nutrition, and leisure—this framework challenges us to consider not just what we achieve but how we are remembered. The Two Types of Goals Resume Goals These goals focus on external achievements: the skills you acquire, the accolades you earn, and the milestones you reach in your career. They’re the accomplishments that look impressive on paper but don’t necessarily define the essence of who you are. Eulogy Goals Eulogy goals reflect your inner character—the traits and values people celebrate when your life is remembered. They emphasize qualities like kindness, honesty, courage, and the positive impact you have on others. While both types of goals play a role in life, eulogy goals hold deeper significance because they shape the legacy you leave behind. Why Eulogy Goals Matter Dr. Seuss eloquently captured the essence of eulogy goals when he said:“To the world you may be one person; but to one person you may be the world.” This quote highlights the profound importance of how we touch others’ lives. Eulogy goals aren’t about fame or fortune—they’re about the love, kindness, and integrity that leave a lasting impact. While resume goals focus on building a life of external success, eulogy goals emphasize building a life of meaning and connection. They’re embodied in the moments when you go out of your way to help someone, show empathy, or stand by your values even when it’s difficult. Living with Eulogy Goals in Mind To align your life with eulogy goals, reflect on these questions: Living with eulogy goals means prioritizing relationships over recognition, integrity over ambition, and purpose over productivity. It’s about striving to be the kind of person whose legacy is defined not by what they achieved but by how they made others feel. A Legacy Worth Remembering In a world that often prioritizes resume goals, embracing eulogy goals takes courage. It’s a deliberate choice to live authentically, guided by the qualities that matter most. By focusing on your eulogy goals, you create a life that leaves a profound and lasting impact—one that truly honors the person you aspire to be. I am incredibly grateful to be part of a community that lifts each other up, challenges us to lead our best lives, and inspires us to become the best versions of ourselves. Together, we can create legacies worth cherishing.
IN-BOX OPEN WRAP UP
It has been an awesome past three weeks in the box. Four teams competing for the “Championship title” 84 members taking on the IN-BOX OPEN. Our biggest Open yet!! A huge thank you to our team Captains, Kim, Luke B, Danielle & Lloyd for everything you did to keep your teams together, motivated and inspired over this time. Team Attire/Team Chants, songs, dance, etc. I am so grateful you all embraced it. A very special mention of Grant & Andy (and supporting crew) for taking the time to photograph our athletes each week. You have captured so many amazing memories. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! GOAL:My idea was to create a community event that allowed for maximum participation, connection with all members of our community, and most importantly give you all a taste of inspiration and achievement we can all have regardless of abilities. I feel we nailed this!! We all witnessed so many moments of firsts, achieving way more than you thought possible. We laughed, cried, had lots of fun and shared a few drinks at the end. Congratulations to each and everyone of you- We could not be prouder of the individual efforts or of the amazing community we have. Keep this inspiration in the back of your mind when you are doubting yourself- you are capable of soooo much. I would love if everyone can share some of their highlights (yours or someone else) on our Facebook members page. WINNERS: Only 1 TEAM CAN BE CROWNED THE WINNERS and this year it was DEMOLITION CREW. (Some of the crew below wearing the crowns for the night). A poster will be displayed for the year with all Demolition Crew members.
