In standard goal setting practices, the method of attaining them usually comes into play.

Being the eternal Star Trek fan that I am, there is another applicable Star Trek quote to share here:

“It is our own mortality that defines us.”

As far as the “His” that I referred to, that is totally me, and also the message that I want people to get. Each of us has the power to create life in our own image – whatever image we decide that we want it to be!

Growing a life is best determined by our view of death and what is beyond death. So writing a eulogy for ourselves seems fitting. Everybody's driving force is determined by their beliefs in death and life after (or the belief that there is no life after death). “Aaron Potts – Someone who created life in His image”
