Living a Memorable Life: Day 2



WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LIVE A MEMORABLE LIFE? 
Living a memorable life means to live a life of meaning, and to do so intentionally, every day. 
A memorable life is one that is remembered. 
It is living a life with the intent of making it memorable so that you can leave a legacy behind that inspires others. 
It's purposeful living.
Living a memorable life is to not take a moment for granted.
When you live a memorable life, you live the opposite of a wasted life or a life with wasted moments. 
I want this as my story every day from now and until I die. then, I want this for my epitaph:

She lived a memorable life as a memory maker, prayerful wife, and journalkeeper. 
Not a moment was wasted, taken for granted, or neglected.

JOURNALING EXERCISE
* Write your thoughts on everything you just read in your journal. 

FINE AND DANDY
All of that is fine and dandy. It sounds like it's full of platitudes and idealistic dreaming. And, it sure doesn't sound possible. Sure, it sounds nice. Who wouldn't want this said of them?
But, what if it was possible?

JOURNALING EXERCISE
* Write your thoughts on everything you just read in your journal. 

IT IS POSSIBLE TO LIVE A MEMORABLE LIFE EVERY DAY
It is possible to live a memorable life every day. Period. It's not just a dream or wishful thinking. It's do-able. It can be accomplished. 
So, why don't we start to explore how to live a memorable life?

JOURNALING EXERCISE
* Do you think it's possible to live a memorable life?
* Do you think it is possible to live a memorable life today?
* So, how can you live today as a memorable day? What does that look like? 
* Why should you live a memorable life?
* How do you want to remember your life when you reflect on it in the future?
* How do you want your live to be remembered when you die?
