I M Perfect lady

I bumped into a gentleman who I had seen earlier at the funeral…and he wondered who would say his eulogy and then told me had just written a blog based on something he read in the Huffington Post… "Are you living your eulogy or your resume? His blog is…. http://blogs.mtu.edu/more-with-les/

A great question. 

What I know, is just having heard a eulogy about a person with a spectacular resume, the resume was not mentioned in the eulogy.  

And it then occurred to me that you can have a great resume and a great eulogy…when you can bring your full self to your resume; where it is you doing what you love…but that it doesn't exclude family or self expression.

Life isn't so much about what you are doing, but if you can bring your full self to all that you do.  This is the secret I believe.  The secret that my buddy was able to accomplish.  

He never wore his resume.  

Nor, do I believe he lived for his eulogy.

It appeared that he just was himself…arriving into each new adventure…or greeting each person.  

He never changed who he was for his resume or to pad his eulogy.  He just lived…as himself. Being curious and trying new things as well as remaining faithful to what he loved.

I can imagine, but can't know it, is that the bigger the resume, the harder it is to maintain your humble self, and yet he accomplished this with ease.  Or I wonder, the more secure and confident you are with yourself…is it this that allows you to succeed.

What drew us all to him, was his ability to remain most faithful to himself.

He was just a regular old Joe, with a great resume and beautiful eulogy.
