Amazingly Easy and Effective Method on How To Find Your Fulfillment in Life

Benjamin Franklin once said "Many people die at the age of 25 but don't get buried till their 75"
It means that some of us agreed to living a day to day life going to a job that has little to no meaning or purpose other than getting a paycheck each month, and not having fulfillment to complete something great for our own lives that we know would give us the gratification we want and deserve!
"If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you will spend your life completely wasting your time. You’ll be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living — that is, to go on doing things you don’t like doing. Which is stupid. Better to have a short life that is full of what you like doing than a long life spent in a miserable way"-Alan Watts

What if Money were no Object?

I invite you to watch a 3min video clip of Alan Watt's when you have time. (the link above)

There was once a teacher who taught the most wealthiest children in Calcutta India for over twenty years. She overlooked the ghetto slums that was near her well maintained neighborhood, and didn't try to go out of the comforts of her own self interest.
One night, a women cried out for help in desperation and collapsed onto the arms of this teacher. Realizing that the collapsed women was in a dire situation, she decided to carry her to the nearest hospital and they told her to wait. Realizing that this ill women doesn't have much time left, she decided to take her to multiple hospitals that would accept her. Despite her courageous effort, the hospital saw this women as some one as a low social status, so she was unimportant to them. Finally, the teacher had decided to take her into her home.
Later that night, she died in the comfort of this teachers loving arms. At this moment, she declared that this will never happen again to anyone within her reach. And this teacher was later known to be The Great Mother Teresa.

There's a strange phenomenon that occurs to us when we or a loved one that is faced with death that causes us to view the world differently with our profound paradigm shift. We start to realize the more important things and have a sense of gratification within our own lives.
"There's something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now."
-Angelina Jolie
So instead of waiting for a doctor letting you know you have only a certain amount of time left for you to take action in your life,  I'd like to leave you with this hard pondering question.
If you found out you only have 6 months left to live and money is no object and it does not exist,
What would like to be doing right now?
But there's a catch.
1. It can't be traveling (a common answer)
2. It can't be related to family
3. or friends. (because for a moment, we're going to focus on our OWN personal interest)
Now, What would you like to do with the time that you have left on this planet Earth?
