My sister shared her answers to these three questions from a YouTube video. Here are the three questions and my answers.
The first question is pretty common. If you were suddenly given enough money to last for the rest of your life, what would you do? While I like my job, I don’t love it. So, I think I would quit and find a volunteer job that I could love. I know that I’d spend more time blogging and doing arts and crafts.
The second question feels more like a time budgeting question. If your doctor told you that you have 5 to 10 years left to live but won’t experience any symptoms. Realistically, I am not sure that I would believe her enough to change my behavior. But, the purpose of the question is to explore how you’d budget your time if you knew how much time you have left. For this question, I will assume that I have enough money to do whatever I want. I would spend more time visiting and/or traveling with my family and friends. I would try to convince them to do some volunteering with me. My mom volunteers at a food pantry and her church, I would visit her and shadow her at the food pantry. I’d visit my sister and my brother.
The third question is the hardest one for me to answer. If I had one day to live, what would I miss? I would feel like I had to abandon a church friend and my co-workers. But, I am not sure that I’d miss them since I’d be busy meeting Jesus, my great aunt and my grandparents. I want to grow old but I can’t even imagine my future.
I don’t see any areas where this exercise will change my decisions. But, it might have a small impact someday in the future.
How would you answer these questions?
