인생계획에서 소개하는 내용들은 인생의 끝 점에서 나의 삶을 돌아볼 수 있도록 해준다.
먼저 나의 추도문을 미리 써본다. 그 추도문을 쓰면 내 삶의 방향과 목적이 만들어진다. 결국 원하는 삶을 살 확률이 높다는 것이다.
추도문을 쓴다면, 인생계정이라는 것을 만들라고 하는데, 결국 나의 삶에서 중요한 항목은 무엇인가 작성해보는 것이다.
나의 경우는 나자신, 가족, 건강, 커리어, 재정, 여가활동, 학습 정도로 계정을 만들어볼 수 있을 것 같다.
이 계정들의 우선 순위를 정하고, 목표 설정 -> 장기계획 -> 단기계획을 세부적으로 정하면서 분기별, 연간 정도로 자신의 인생계획서를 점검하며 살라는 이야기다.
추도문을 써보라던지, 인생계획을 세워야 한다는 이야기들은 자기계발서의 단골 소재이자 주제이기도 하다. 이 책의 차별성이라면 템플릿을 만들어 오픈 리소스로 홈페이지에도 공유가 된다는 것이 아닐까?
책을 덮고, 하루 꼬박 나의 인생계획서를 충실하게 작성하려는 사람이 과연 얼마나 될까? 결국 실행이 답이다. Just do it!
