Dawson McAllister’s Life Lessons: What Would Your Tombstone Say

 

Do You Want to Make a Difference?

Hi, this is Dawson McAllister. A wise person thinks about death, but a fool thinks only about having a good time. I don’t want to be a fool. I want to live for what lasts. I want to make a difference.

If You Had 48 Hours to Live…What Would You Do?

So, what would they say about you, right now?  If you passed away, what would your friends and family put on your tombstone? When you put it on a tombstone it is the very essence of your life. Right there. What would you do if your doctor called and said you have 48 hours to live? Who would you talk to? Who would you make peace with? Who would you forgive? Who would you thank? Write them down and then live that way! Because we’re all going to be here in some graveyard somewhere. If you could write out what’s on your tombstone…what would it be?

Live for what lasts! Make a difference!
