It is so easy to forget you have "enough." Here on Linkedin we're all in constant pursuit of MORE. More revenue! More pipeline! More customers! Success is often measured by whoever has makes the most dollars, raises the biggest round of funding, or has the biggest exit. In the pursuit of "more," it's easy to insulate ourselves from actual suffering. It's suffering that takes us out of the pursuit of "more," brings us back to reality, and helps us remember what's most important. Serving dinner to families at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain Area, Inc. was a great reminder that I have "enough." Right here in Salt Lake City, families spend every waking hour sitting at the bedsides of their children who are fighting to overcome scary diseases and medical struggles. These families are grateful for a warm meal, a kind smile, and another day of hope. Revenue, pipeline, exits—they all matter—but they will never represent "enough." What do you do to remind yourself you have enough? (I highly recommend signing up to serve these families. I can't think of many people who need it more.)

It is only natural that we don't want to think about our own death, however we will all face it one day, and we can either be prepared or not. For your own sake, but also for your family and friends we should all take the time to think about what we would want at our death. I have seen how some family and friends have been left confused and distressed after the death of a loved one as their wishes were not clear or simply never discussed. Sadly I have also seen and experienced how this can cause awful conflict and terrible upset at a time of already deep emotional turmoil. Using this fantastic resource to either facilitate discussion or even better to document your wishes is the first step towards planning for a good death. During this Dying Matters Week I strongly encourage you to take a look at this helpful booklet and making the decision to document your wishes.

Three key things to remember: 1. Compassion matters – Every act of kindness helps make this journey easier. 2. Dignity in care – Supporting patients’ emotional, physical, and spiritual needs ensures they feel respected. 3. Togetherness – Hospice care is about creating a community of support for both patients and their loved ones.
