“If you carefully consider what you wanted to be said of you in the funeral experience, you will find your definition of success.” This week I am reflecting on some thoughts I have had this past week after attending two funerals. I share my thoughts about being a more aware and caring neighbor and friend. I also reflect on habit two from the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Begin with the end in mind, by Stephen R. Covey. Then I look into some ways I can be better at getting to know people and the idea of trying to find out what is awesome or interesting about them.
Show Notes: Hi Friends! I hope you enjoyed listening to this episode. Below are all the references.
What I learned: This week my thoughts brought me to thinking a lot about Habit 2 from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey. What do I want people to say about me at my funeral? And also how can I be a better neighbor and be aware about what is going on in their lives and be caring about that? The other thing I really thought about this week is to take some relationships that are simply friendly - neighbors that I see out - to the next level and how do I really learn to find the awesome and interesting things about them? So below are some of the articles that I references with all of the different ideas. Lots of good list - To be curious, authentic, honest, ask questions that can lead to a conversations, give a genuine compliment, be brave and awkward, be present and a good listener, and avoid giving advice. There were quite a bit more on the articles if you want to dig in. Also I have links to the episodes that I referenced as well.
