Imagine

Imagine for a moment that your life is over. You have died. Look at the complete story, the finished picture and ask yourself ..

What was best??
What was worst??
When was I happiest??
What did I give??
What did I withhold??
How could I have done better, done more for others?? What stopped me??
Did I live my dreams? Fulfill my potential?? If not, why not??
Did I make a difference??
Have I left a gap in the world?? etc.

Now, remember that you are alive. You still have the chance to do it! I reckon that no one is really afraid of dying, but just afraid that when death comes they will not have really lived.

As bizarre as it may sound to imagine that you are dead, have you given some thoughts to the questions that were listed?
