I love graveyards.
Not only are they serene, they give a great insight into what really matters.
You see, besides your name and your tenure on this spinning rock, there’s nothing on a gravestone about you:
“𝘉𝘦𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳”
“𝘋𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳”
“𝘞𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘶𝘭 𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘣𝘢𝘯𝘥”
Epitaphs don’t show how much you earn, follower counts or job titles, but the difference you make to others.
It’s how you add value to their lives.
Our impact on others.
By default, we are all social do-gooders.
It’s in our nature.
We’re rewarded with a hormonal hit of oxytocin for it.
And we get another oxy’ hit if we see someone else do good for another.
It’s Firgun:
A Hebrew word that means to take “pure and sincere joy in another person’s achievement or experience”.
So quickly ask yourself, “𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘐 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘢 𝘥𝘪𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦’𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺?”
Then go make that difference.
