I came across this and had to share!!!! Live Autopsy: Finding the Lost Parts of Ourselves
Perform a ‘live autopsy.’ This isn’t about a physical autopsy, but rather an honest examination of the dreams, passions, and parts of ourselves that may have ‘died’ along the way. Sometimes, to know where we’re headed, we need to understand what we left behind.
Life throws us setbacks, doubts, and responsibilities. And often, without realizing it, we let certain pieces of ourselves fade. Maybe it was a dream we thought was impractical, a passion we put on hold, or a sense of joy that got lost in the daily grind.
So why perform this live autopsy? Because it’s a chance to ask, ‘What happened to my motivation?’ ‘Why did I let that part of me die?’ It’s about finding the parts of ourselves that got buried under self-doubt, fear, or expectations and deciding if they’re worth bringing back to life.
This isn’t just looking back—it’s reclaiming the parts of ourselves that matter. By understanding what faded and why, we can rebuild, reignite, and realign our lives with who we truly want to be.
So, I ask you: What parts of you have died along the way? What dreams or passions might still be worth reviving? Take a moment to perform your own live autopsy and resurrect what’s still alive within you.
Because in the end, this isn’t about the past; it’s about moving forward with a deeper purpose, ready to live fully and freely as your truest self.
“Don’t wait for someone else to do your autopsy. Find what’s died within you and bring it back to life.” -Jennifer Archuleta #beyondthevelvetrope #📚
