Mental Experiment of Fast-forwarding your lifeTo define one’s purpose in life is not an easy
or simple task. When asked to do so, people often end up producing a long list of the typical
things that people think they should say.Instead, start by fast-forwarding your life to
imagine a life you would love to live, the one that fulfills all your goals and dreams. This
exercise will allow you to distill your real priorities in life, as clarity regarding “the ends”
drives “clarity“ now. In fact, Jeff Bezos takes quite a similar approach when he makes an
important life decision based on his personal priorities. See Jeff Bezos on making a life
decision while projecting himself to age 80 in this 2-minute

society, world?How might some of these situations or outcomes have been different without
you?Take a look at what you’ve written and try to find common themes. What sorts of
characteristics or traits are evident in the memories that surfaced? Select the theme that
best represents the person and build upon it. Organize items by degrees of importance.
Summarize your “good words,” and restate your theme.Option 2: Writing a Tribute for Your
