The Three Sentences Test

Good Morning.
We spend most of our time moving from task to task, rarely stopping to ask what all those moments add up to. Today’s reflection invites you to pause and consider: if your life were summed up in just a few sentences, what would you want them to say?

The Three Sentences Test

If someone had only three sentences to describe you, what would you want them to say?

That you worked hard? That you loved well? That you made ordinary days brighter?
The details are different for each of us, but the question is the same: what’s worth remembering?

We tend to think legacy lives in milestones: the job we landed, the house we bought, the big wins that look good on a résumé. But ask anyone who’s ever spoken about someone they admire, and you’ll hear something different. They remember how a person made them feel. They remember generosity, humor, kindness, or the ability to turn a routine moment into something worth holding onto.

The truth is, life gets distilled all the time. In conversations with friends. In the stories families pass down. In the impression you leave in a room once you’ve walked out. You are already being summarized, long before anyone writes it down.

That’s why the Three Sentences Test is powerful. It isn’t just about looking back at a life, but about learning how to live it with intention now. If what you hope to be remembered for doesn’t line up with how you’re spending your days, maybe that’s a signal. Maybe the gap between your imagined sentences and your current habits is the most honest feedback you’ll ever get.

So pause for a moment. Picture your three sentences.
Do they sound like the life you’re building right now, or do they belong to a version of you that hasn’t arrived yet?

The test isn’t meant to scare you. It’s meant to remind you that the story of your life is already being drafted, line by line, day by day. And you have more power than you think to choose how those lines are written.

Hold those three sentences in mind this week. Next time, we’ll explore how to start living in a way that makes them real.
