The Eulogy Exercise(DW# 845)
Steven Covey in his seminal book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People suggests an exercise which can help us get some clarity on our eulogy virtues.
Here is how I do this exercise:
Imagine that you walk into a funeral. There’s a casket in the front of the room. You walk up to the casket to see who’s in it. You look inside.
It’s YOU. It is you who is lying motionless in that casket.
You realise that you are at your own funeral.
Feel into that for a moment.
Look around – who is there?
What do the people who are present have to say about you? What qualities did they most admire and appreciate in you?
Are you surprised? Delighted?
Or Sad? Disappointed? Regretful?
