The Hard Questions

As we all know, life isn’t always easy. There are inevitably tough times that come our way. Usually when this happens, we think about all the big, hard questions surrounding our life—how we’re living, what we should be doing, what’s going to happen in the future, and if the mistakes in the past will be relived. Before getting into a crisis situation, it’s important to stay vigilant about these difficult topics and keep them in mind as we go through daily life.

Living a life that is worthwhile every day is the best method for avoiding sudden life purpose crises in which we don’t know who we are, what we’re doing, where we’re going, and who we love. Reflect on some of these questions to make sure you’re using your life in a way that you’ll find valuable and meaningful whenever you look back at your life’s course:

Am I using my natural talents on a regular basis in my daily life?

What is my first priority in life?

What will happen to me when I die?

How and what am I giving to others?

Is this the way I want to keep living?

How can I change to become a better version of myself?
