Who are you? If you could think of a word to describe
yourself, what would it be? How would you want others to see you? What would
you want others to say about you?
If you're struggling to think of anything, imagine this:
You're at a funeral, surrounded by your friends and family. It's your funeral. Members of your family and friends start to speak about you. What do they say? What do you want them to say? In all your life, what do you want to have achieved? How do you want people to remember you?
When I did this exercise, I knew straight away how I would want people to remember me. I would want people to say things such as, 'Evie was always positive, she loved life. That was one of her biggest dreams, simply enjoy her life. She wanted to explore, develop and grow as a person. She focused on the sort of person she wanted to be and she was that.
She made the most out of everyday and inspired so many people. She inspired all of us. She adored nature and appreciated the world. She had so many dreams and fulfilled each one. Evie was compassionate, Inspirational and loving.'

I think my ideas of how I want to be seen will change
overtime. However this is my idea of how I would want to be remembered now.
Once you've though of some answers, think to yourself 'Will people see me this way?' 'Do people see me this way now?'
I feel like if I keep living a positive, joyful life people will. Obviously in time I hope I will be able to fulfil my dreams but if I died next week I would still want people to remember me in that way.
So start being that person you want to be remembered as. Figure out the person you really want to be and be that person. Love yourself and love life. You have the choice and the power to be and do whatever you want. So do it.
