Resume goals vs eulogy goals

Discussion

As I've gotten older, I noticed I've reduced prioritizing goals that build my resume, and have become more focused on the things I want to be remembered for when I pass away (eulogy goals). After all, no one on their death bed wishes they had worked more or earned more money. They all say they wish they spent more time with family and friends, took that risk, left a bigger impact on the world, or worried less about what others think.

I always assumed we all transition toward these types of "eulogy" goals as we age, but curious where you are in your personal journey and how you balance both types of goals.
