Our Journey is Our Work: Creating My Obituary

Our Journey is our Work is the result of a dream. Looking down on my casket the preacher said "he was a great insurance agent". I realized that was not the obituary I wanted. The dream was a wake up call. There was more to life and I was missing it. My life had money and material wealth but was boring and unfulfilling. Knowing there was more I dared to trade the known for the unknown. Finding a purpose and passion was the plan. Illness forced me to stop. It was the stopping that provided the space and learning to leap forward into a rewarding new life filled with value and meaning. Knowingly or not we are all on the journey. Rather than fight it we need to embrace and welcome it. The rewards are great.
