This is not a trick question! It will do you a world of good if you take time to ask yourself this important question: If you have only six months to live, what would you do?"
To help you answer this question, let me share with you the Wheel of Life concept, of living a balanced life. There are eight sectors of your life and you may be neglecting certain sectors.
Health - what have you done for yourself to stay healthy?
Family - what have you done for your loved ones?
Finance - what have you done to get your finance in good shape and leave a legacy for your loved ones.
Moral Obligation - what you feel morally obligated to do but haven't done anything yet?
Personal Development - what areas you feel you need to be improved but haven't done anything yet?
Social Contribution - what areas you want to contribute to Society but haven't done anything yet?
Dreams - what dreams you have not realized yet?
Spiritual - what are the things you haven't done to enjoy peace with yourself or the responsibilities you feel you need to complete according to your beliefs.
There was a popular research on top executives and not even one wished he had spend more time at his office, many regretted they didn't spend enough time with their loved ones!
Many people neglected their health and spent too much time on their career or business until their body breaks down and they ended up in the intensive care unit in the hospital!
By focussing on this thought-provoking question, you can save yourself a lot of pain and regrets!
When was the last time you spend your precious time with your loved ones and told them you love them. Is it so difficult to say those words "I love you" to them when they are still alive or when you are still alive?
When was the last time you say forgive someone or apologize to someone you have done wrong?
We all make mistakes but the greatest mistake is not to live our dreams and not to do the things we must do before we leave this world.
Do not neglect the things that matters most to you!
