1. What if this was all that there is? How does that feel?
2. Would you be happy with what you have done so far? What does that feel like?
3. Could you list things that you have done that have made a contribution and created a better world for those around you? If you can, what are they?
4. Are you content to acknowledge that this life is temporary? Describe how that feels.
Take five minutes to answer each question, not in your head – write it down on a piece of paper or in your journal. Put your writing away and return to it a week later. How have your thoughts changed or developed?
