I went to the funeral for a friend’s father today (for moral support for her; I didn’t really know her dad) and the lesson was this: live your life so that your auto mechanic shows up at your funeral and tells a story about what a great guy you were.
Can’t I just live my life so that an inordinate number of people show up with wacky anecdotes about the times I messed up with hilarious but harmless outcomes?
I’ve already invested a lot of time and effort into that outcome, and I’m sure it’ll be a much more enjoyable one for everyone involved.
