The Funeral And A Letter To A Friend

You probably had hear this from someone or read it somewhere.

I did but it never struck me to try it. Ben and I was sitting
at the Irish Bank last Wednesday and we were talking about life
purpose.

Yeah... what a cheesy topic? But, Ben had been coached by a
carreer coach for a while now. He shared with me what his career
coach shared with him that had make a difference in his life.

A more focus and clearer picture of his life purpose and goal.

That's the "Funeral Test" and "A Letter To A Friend"

Forget about techniques or tactics, but focus on "Who I am?"

Imagine attending a Funeral of your own and what do you want you
wife, families, friends and collegues say about you at your Funeral.
After writing as detail as possible you'll find out perhaps what
holding you back and give yourself a chance to work back on why
you're born into this world.

The second test what a shorter term life purpose. Ben knows his
short term life purpose, which is to be a public lawyer. The concept
of "A Letter To A Friend" is writing out now as if it was 1-3 years
in the future, describing in absolute details of what you and I have
accomplished that make lifes so great and so fulfilled.

and of course... then we can work backward.

While these reverse re-engineering tests sounds cheesy.... I know
they work because in 2006, I wrote a goal to becoming an Advance
Communicator Bronze and at that time that seems to be way beyond
my capabilities.

But in 2008 (I believe), I found that same piece of paper filled with
dusk and realized I have already achieved that. I remembered my tears
started to drip of my cheek.

I'm going to do these 2 test right after my coaching call with Karen.

You'll find the above helpful.

Cheers,
Kian
