(upbeat music)
Hi, everybody who for those of you who don't know who I am,
it's Linh Podetti, if you're new to this channel,
please don't forget to subscribe to my channel
so that you'll be notified
about my videos every single week.
But I'm here to help you achieve time and financial freedom.
I used to be a single mom and now I've been able
to really transform my life into a life full of abundance
and full of love and full of happiness.
So, in this video, I wanna share with you
how you can actually do that as well.
Ultimately, we're all gonna die.
We're all living in this world temporarily.
We're all going to die one day.
But it is on our dying day, we need to really think about
what do we want people to remember us for.
Because ultimately, we're here on this earth
to really add value to others
to be remembered for something great.
So the way we're really able to transform our lives
and really be able to give us the right directions
on how to be happy in life,
is to really think about that day,
to really think about on the day of your funeral,
what do you actually want people to say on your eulogy?
So I've been exploring this topic about death recently,
from past few years, because I wanna get comfortable
with something that is ever inevitably going to happen.
A lot of us are fearful about death,
and we feel like, oh my god, I don't wanna die,
I don't wanna talk about it.
But we wanna embrace that that this is a part of life
and without death, we wouldn't really live with our life
in the best way that we can
because we think, well, we've got the rest of the life
forever to think about.
But because we have a finite amount of time in this world,
that gives us more motivation to achieve as much as we can,
to do as much as we can,
while we're still alive in this world.
And so I have been really passionate
about the topic of death,
because I wanted to feel comfortable, I wanna be prepared,
I want to learn the lessons I can
from those that have died or have cancer.
I have visited many patients
that were on their last dying days,
'cause I really wanted to learn as much as I can
from their experience and to then take that listen back
to make sure that I don't live a life of regrets.
And so this is where having a eulogy,
writing up your own eulogy is the best way
to really make sure that you know what you're doing in life
that's gonna be able to achieve the right outcome
that you want in life.
So on your funeral day, I'm sure
that your family is not gonna read out a eulogy
that says Linh is remembered as someone
that had this beautiful Ferrari.
And she was able to travel around the world
in this private yacht.
And she had the most expensive handbags and shoes, right?
Those are the things that people
aren't gonna be talking about.
It's how you make people feel,
that is what they're gonna be talking about.
So they're gonna say, Linh is a person that is generous.
So this is my eulogy, I wrote for myself
that I wanna be remembered as someone
that was kind, that was doing good in the world,
that was generous, that tried to help everybody,
who really lived her life with no regrets,
everything she thought about, she did it.
She was courageous.
She cared about everyone around her.
So those are the example of something that I wrote.
And what does that all mean?
It means that once I've written it, all I really need to do
to know that I've had a great life
is to really live up to that eulogy that I wrote.
So every day and every week,
I'm always trying to do activities and things in life
that is really matching that ideal eulogy
that I want in my life.
And so for yourself as well.
So after you watch this video,
I want you to take a piece of paper and pen out.
And write a eulogy up.
Imagine you had to write your own eulogy.
How would you want someone to read out your eulogy?
Like, what is it gonna say about you?
How do you make people feel?
What legacy did you leave behind?
And once you've written it down,
it really does give you that clarity
on knowing what you need to do,
because you will feel completely fulfilled.
If every day and every week that you live your life,
you are able to take off all those items
that you mentioned in the eulogy, if you've been generous,
you've been loving, you've been kind
because ultimately, that is all that matters in life.
It's not the materialistic things that we,
why do I wanna be rich, it's because I want to be generous.
I want to make more money so I can give to more people.
Not everyone has that courage to be able
to fight through entrepreneurship and take risk like me,
but I know I love that, like, I thrive on that,
I have this adrenaline rush when I'm taking risk.
So I wanna use that strength
to actually make more money to help the world more.
And because if I want to be generous,
that is what I need to do.
So just curious to know guys, what is the one thing
that you want people to remember you by?
Share in the comments below, I'd love to hear it from you.
And yeah, if you've written your eulogy,
and you have any feedback about this exercise,
do let me know, I really found this exercise a bit
so life-changing and just makes you feel like
you know what the end result is
and you almost just reverse engineer your life back here,
like, now I know what to do in order to achieve that.
So I hope you enjoyed this video
