Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

I wrote my eulogy about 10 years ago.

What did that do for you when you did it?

It gave me incredible clarity about what my life needs to become.

Writing my eulogy told me what direction my life needed to go.

I edited it pretty frequently. In 10 years, I've realized how much a human being can do. They were

small visions 10 years ago, and now they are not small visions. Why do you think it's important

to read it frequently?

There's two reasons. One is, as I said early, it directs your life.

Two, and this is an even bigger reason, it reminds you that you're going to die.

There's something unbelievably sobering about recognizing the fact that your story is going to end, you're going to leave the planet,

and you're not coming back. My development team, I've asked them, do you think on the eulogy page

you can actually have a countdown timer based on the average life, especially in the country that you live in?

That's crazy. Yeah. I think that's smart. You know how much time I've got left? You said 30 years,

right? Yeah, two Lucy's. Lucy was my's smart. You know how much time I've got left? You said 30 years, right?

Yeah, two Lucy's.

Lucy was my chocolate lab.

Oh, man.

And she lived to be 14 years old.

My wife called her my first wife, because Lucy and I were married before Betsy and I were married, and we put her down two Saturdays ago.

Oh, man.

And it was absolutely heartbreaking. She got me two Betsy.
