I ask myself....What kind of person am I?

I am sorry if my posts are getting a little too introspective... but oh well.
I went to a funeral today for a patient of mine. I only had this man as a patient for 4 months, but he really touched my life. It's amazing to me that you can so rapidly tell a person's character and the core of who they are in such a short time. This man, Andy, was profoundly grateful, incredibly positive and happy. His funeral today made me cry and touched me on so many levels it was amazing. I want to be a person that is remembered for loving others, serving unselfishly, being positive, being grateful, being a true friend, thinking the best of people. I have a long way to go, I know. But today I am asking myself, WHAT KIND OF PERSON AM I? What do I really stand for? How do I show what I believe? What will I be remembered for?
Fear, self doubt, human weakness and even laziness hold us back from living up to our true potential. I want to conquer those things and rise above to be the person I was born to be!!!
I love feeling inspired by good people. Andy didn't know how much he truly inspired me. What a great example.

Loved your thoughts. Such important questions to ask. Just as Andy didn't know how much he impacted you - it makes me wonder who is watching and what are they feeling/seeing when they are near us?!?! Thanks for making me really think this morning!! Can't wait to see you guys.
