I had decided that this would be an unplugged week, but this was pressed on me, so I changed my mind.🙂
What if you found out that you only had two weeks left to live and there was no cure for what ailed you. What would you think made your life worth living? What had you done with your life that had shown the most love to others? This wouldn't be about what you would regret because there would be no time for that. There would be no time for what-ifs, because you couldn't change anything now. What would you look back on, over your whole life, and see that your life really was worth living? How had you made a difference in the lives of others?🤔
In order to answer this question authentically, you need to take all the time needed to really imagine this scenario, letting your emotions flow over your thoughts, look back over your life, and really remember all that you have experienced in life.🤔
This isn't easy. It took me a while to really get into my head and answer this question. I thought about the birth of my children and my grandchildren. I thought about my Husband and my marriage. I thought about all the normal, wonderful things that I had experienced (having no time left now to worry over the terrible dark things I had experienced in life), but when I finally found my answer, it really wasn't what I would have thought of right off, in my everyday existence.🙂
My answer is this...What I found the most meaningful in my life was every time I loved what others had deemed unlovable. Whether this was babies, children, animals, or adults. I remembered how each one that had been deemed unlovable changed in front of my very eyes when I loved them. How the love I gave seemed like it breathed life into them. How it helped ease their pain and changed them.❤
I can't really explain this, but when you give love to those who need it so much, it is like needing air to breathe for the rest of us; it is miraculous. It is life-changing. The way you loved them has a ripple effect ( even with animals); and they go on to love others, too. This is what has made my life worth living, and I am so grateful that I got to experience these times and this love. ❤
What about you? How would you answer this question?🤔
