We don’t write eulogies for intelligence

Kindness matters much more than cleverness.

The world at large might remember you for your brains if you’re an Albert Einstein or a Katherine Johnson.

But the people who actually matter to you will remember you for how you made them feel. 

Honestly, how many eulogies are written about a person’s brilliance? I’ve rarely (if ever) heard one.

At a funeral, loved ones share funny stories and tell of how they were loved and treated by the deceased.

Keep this in mind as you think about what’s truly important today.
