I saw a movie not long ago, about a women who paid someone to write her obituary before she died.

It was actually a little more complicated than that, but basically, that’s what the gist of the movie was focused on.

If I had to say what the moral to the story was, I guess I’d put it like this: It’s never too late to change your negative ways.

Are you the type of person who lived a life that will only conjure up negative memories about you?

Are the personality traits you’re known for in life, mostly negative and less than helpful to other people?

These questions can help you appreciate the important life lesson about it never being too late to try and change how you’re perceived.

Believe me, this movie really spoke to me, on a number of levels.

The movie was called: The Last Word, and it starred Shirley McClain (one of my favorite comedic actresses).

Become the best version of you
