Reflecting on Life's Journey: A Question for Your Future Self
At the conclusion of our earthly journey, when our time on this earth comes to an end, something lingering in the mind becomes increasingly important: whether we lived a purposeful and fulfilling life. Here are some critical questions to ponder, as they can shed light on our past, present, and future actions:
Was everything I did during my lifetime truly worthwhile?
Did I spend enough time with my family? Did I provide the love and support my spouse needed? Did I make most people smile, or did those few who resented me have the right attitude? Did I leave a positive impact on the world? Did I serve others and provide for my body the necessities to sustain me until I could give back to society? Finally, if not, how can I make amends for the greatness I experienced?Ultimately, the fundamental question remains:
Will I be better than what I am now?
And nothing else, nothing more.
Assuming life has treated you kindly and has brought you to this point, now, let us delve into some crucial aspects to consider:
Triumphs and Reflection
How many books have you read in your journey thus far? Have you expanded your interests to new genres, avoiding the pitfalls of love genre novels? Have you formed any meaningful friendships, or are you still content in solitude?
How have your relationships with people around you evolved? Have you nurtured your passion for cooking and explored new recipes? Are you meeting new people frequently, enjoying the journey?
Your professional life: have you figured out your calling and are you content with your path? Have you embarked on a new business venture, following your dreams?
Tough Times and Resilience
How has life taught you valuable lessons, and have you remained kind and giving?
Exploring New Horizons
Have you traveled to Varanasi and witnessed the Gangaur Arti? How was it? How much of India have you explored? Have you tried new delicacies?
Contributing to Society
Have you joined any NGOs to contribute to a meaningful cause, or are you still waiting for permission? Are you still adhering to your principles and avoiding bad habits?
Adoption and Responsibility
Have you adopted a child, or is the government still hesitating to grant you the necessary permission? How have you overcome the things you used to worry about 10 years ago?
Physical and Mental Well-being
Have you mastered the art of pushups, breaking free from the floor, or are you still working on your physical fitness?
In conclusion, life is a journey, and every step we take brings us closer to our ultimate destiny. Reflecting on these questions can provide valuable insights into our progress and the actions we need to take to achieve a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment in our lives.
