I did an exercise not too long ago where I answered the question, “What one word do you want others to describe you as at your funeral?” With the one word I chose, I had to encompass what I believe everything starts with. After tons of thinking, I chose the word “humble”. It seems to be what I strive for in everything. Some people didn’t understand why I would choose that word, but I feel good about it.

What one word do you want others to describe you as at your funeral?
