Clarify · The vision
Design the life worth working for
Two exercises that set your north star. First, write one remarkable day ten years out. Then write your own eulogy — the life as someone who loves you will one day describe it. Everything else points back here.
It's an ordinary, extraordinary day — . Everything has gone as well as it possibly could. Write it in the present tense, in vivid detail, broken into the three parts of your day. Dream big. Don't edit yourself. You never have to share it.
Morning
From the moment you wake — the light, who's beside you, the first ritual, the coffee, how the day begins.
Afternoon
Your work and what you're building — who you serve, what you create, the people you do it with, what you've mastered.
Evening
How the day closes — who you're with, the meal, how you reflect and recharge, and how you tuck yourself in.
Begin with the end in mind. Picture your funeral, many years from now. Someone who knows you best rises to speak. Write their words across the four seasons of your life — as Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins describe them: the spring you planted in, the summer you built and defended, the autumn you harvested, and the winter of wisdom you leave behind.
Spring · the plantingroughly birth–25
Beginnings and opportunity — where they came from, the dreams they planted, what shaped the person they became.
Summer · the buildingroughly 25–50
Growth and protection — the years of building family and work, and how they defended what mattered through the heat.
Autumn · the harvestroughly 50–70
Reaping and giving back — what the life yielded, who they lifted, and the responsibility they carried without complaint.
Winter · the wisdomroughly 70+
Reflection and what endures — the wisdom they earned, how they met adversity, and what they passed on.
