The Most Important Thing to Remember in Life Regardless of Age
The most important thing in life is not money. It’s not friends. It’s not family. It’s not even how much fun you have.
The only thing that matters is if you lived your life the way you wanted to.
At the end of it all, when you are on your deathbed and you look back, you will ask yourself what really mattered. Did you do everything you wanted to? Do you remember the times that took your breath away? Do you feel as though you lived a fulfilled life? Are you satisfied with how you lived? Would you live this life again?
For each and every one of us the reasons we would answer those questions with “YES” are different. Some may look back and see their family smiling, loving and caring for them. Others may look back and remember the times they pushed for their private goals and achieved more than they thought they could. And others still may think about their life and feel satisfied and happy because they led a life full of unique experiences.
What matters to you in the end is dependent on who you are. No one can tell you that.
