A Walk in the Graveyard Changed My Perspective
7 changes I will do to make my 90-year-old self proud
On a beautiful summer day, I visited my ancestor’s grave. Walking among the tombstones made me think about my life. I’ve become stuck in old and unfortunate thought patterns and need some changes. How should I prioritize my remaining days and years to make my 90-year-old self proud? I realize I must move away from the mediocre short-term thoughts to find my long-term goals and values.
This is what I want to do to make my 90-year-old self proud:
1. Give
I want to be a gentle and supportive person. Small things shouldn’t matter. I will focus on generosity.
2. Legacy
I want to leave something behind that can inspire, bring joy and teach. Although I do not envision what my legacy will become, I shall focus on creating content consistently.
3. Kind
Be kind. Always. Unnecessary and vicious comments and actions do not make the world a better place. From now on, if I don’t have something friendly or constructive to say, I will keep my mouth shut.
