“is this how you are going to spend the rest of your life? Have you tried your best to figure out who you are and why you exist?”

Life is short. I know people always say that, but I never understood what that meant until now. An average human only lives 30,000 days, a tiny fraction (0.0000006%) of the current lifespan of the universe. If we deduct the days we spent with our parents before college and deduct sleeping, eating, and exercising, we are only left with 10,400 days. That’s only 28 years. Have you ever thought about if there were only 28 years left in your life, how would you spend them?

Money is not the most important asset in life. Time is. Money can be earned back but time is the one thing that can never be retrieved.

I thought that’s what I had to sacrifice in order to become “successful”. I have no doubt that there are many people who do thrive in this lifestyle and are able to create a huge impact, but I started to realize that it’s not who I am and it doesn’t make me feel fulfilled.

She hasn’t changed much over the years. I see the sparkles in her eyes when she works on creating something meaningful that helps people or makes people happy.

She told me that there’s no perfect timing. Life is too short to work on someone else’s dream.

Pay attention to your inner child, for your inner child knows you best.

if you only have 28 years on earth, how would you spend this time? How do you want people to remember you? What are the things that if you don’t do, you’d feel regretful on your deathbed.
