Welcome to Let It Be Easy with Susie Moore.

Here's something fun for you today.

It's Alexander the Great's last three wishes. This is also from Robin Sharma's book,

The Wealth Money Can't. I'm going to read it to you because it's so good. And I thought,

hmm, maybe we can take something from good old Alexander the Great today.

Okay, I read. A famous legend holds that Alexander the Great

on his deathbed gathered his League of Generals and shared with them his three final wishes.

They were.

Only the world's best doctors could carry his coffin.

That the vast economic wealth he had accumulated over his lifetime, gold, precious stones and ornaments,

should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery,

and that his hands should hang outside of his coffin for all who gathered to view.

One of his top generals asked him to explain the reason for these three instructions. Here's how the revered ruler replied.

First, he stated that he wanted the finest doctors to carry the coffin

so that all witnesses and the population at large would understand that even the greatest

medicine available had no power to prevent a human being from dying.

Second, he wanted the streets to be littered with his gold and other forms of financial fortune, so everyone in attendance would understand

that money made on earth remains on earth after we die.

And finally, he said that he wanted his hands to hang outside the coffin

so that his followers would know and never forget that we are

born with nothing and we

memorize Alexander the Great's final three wishes deeply
