[9:44] Question #2: What would you do if you were given an end date? [12:48] Question #3: What would you do if you had one day left? Question #1: What would you do if you could do anything? Imagine that you are financially secure and you can do whatever you want. How would you live your life? Would you change anything? Would life stay the same? Give yourself some time to get deep in thought and imagine what you would want your life to look like. Describe a life that is everything that you desire. How will you live out the rest of your life if money is n0t a factor? Many people march hard toward financial independence as if it is the finish line—but it is only a goal. You still have a life to live. And if you’re reaching financial independence sooner rather than later, you have more life to live financially free. Describe a life that is richly yours.

Imagine you visit the doctor and you are told you only have 5–10 years left on earth. You will remain healthy and productive. You will not feel sick but your time is restricted. What will you do in the time you have remaining? This question forces you to think about the end of your life and helps you narrow down how you really want to spend your final years. Those become your priorities. Question #3: What would you do if you had one day left? You just found out that you have one day left to live. What will you regret the most? What will you miss? What did you regret not being or doing? What relationship did you not have time to mend? What are all the things you wish you would have done differently? In the end, money does not matter. If you do not know what is truly important to you, you will not live a life of complete fulfillment. Question #1 focuses on designing the life you want to live. Question #2 is about narrowing down what is truly important. Question #3 makes you realize you need to seize the day. Do what you need to do to live a fulfilled life. How are YOU answering these three questions? [bctt tweet="What would you do if you had one day left?
