My exercise to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN started with me being asked to write my own epitaph. I invite you to do the exercise with me. Imagine a multitude of family and friends standing around your grave and the epitaph was read.

The first word is STOP. This morning I almost fell at the gym as a result of running with good speed on the treadmill and pushing the STOP button before slowing down. My momentum was halted by my own action but the action was too sudden for my own readiness. Many people are falling because they STOP without slowing down.

STOP. Forget about your To Do List.
Start your To Be List.
Your To Do List is living from pressure.
Your To Be List is living from pleasure.

The Epitaph of Leif Hetland

Leif was a friend of God. Leif loved well. Leif lived love. Leif lived full, died empty. Leif was an amazing husband, great father, and grandfather. Leif did not limit God. Leif had no fear of man nor risk. Leif trusted a God who trusted him. Leif discovered secrets in the secret place. Leif lived a life full of power, love, and wisdom. Leif burned brightly without burning out. Leif loved life. Leif reigned in life. Leif changed the world one life at a time.

Because Leif was born, one billion names were added to the lambs book of life. Leif was a spiritual son. Sonship became the path to fatherhood. Today as we say goodbye, the legacy of Leif is to be found in his spiritual sons that have sons and in the 100 nations transformed through the continued generational blessing.
