Episode notes

When you record an audio book, it's the first time ever that you actually sit down as the author and you read it from cover to cover. The reason is that in the last ten years, there's probably been almost nothing that has served my life more than processing and metabolizing the fact that i am going to die. I think we're very limited in our understanding, even christians, about what that involves. What we know is that you mak it to be here a in about, for me, in about forty years, i'm gone.

When it comes to your own personal story and experiencing a meaningful life, do you feel like things are coming up short? Even if you have a packed schedule, you might still wake up feeling restless, bored or even hopeless. Know that you are not alone. Too many people have lost interest in their own stories. But in this Business Made Simple six-part limited series, we want to help you change that. We want to help you become a hero on a mission.

In part two of our series, Donald Miller talks through the exercise of writing your own eulogy, all from his new book Hero on a Mission. While it may seem morbid, writing your eulogy while you're alive actually gives direction how you should spend your time each day and how you truly want to spend the rest of your life. You'll find that determining how you want your story to end acts as the perfect filter to help make decisions on living a life that gives you true meaning and purpose.
