Six Months To Live (May 2026)

My Meditations    « Previously    Next »

“If you learned today that you only had six months left to live, how would you spend your last six months on earth?”

(Read more about this question »)

I thought about this topic for about 30-40 minutes and I realized in such 6 months I would be busy repairing my relationships and I would be busy managing my finances (or debts to be specific and clear).

I could be more sensitive, respectful and careful in my relationships but I can't really try to mechanically try to fix them like a broken toy or gadget.

For my finances, I would really need to be watchful of where money goes and how I spend it.

My debts aren't exactly problematic because I have got them covered but I think about them for two reasons:
    1. Debts are still Debts. 
    2. The money which I am spending towards EMIs could have been used towards creating a financial cushion, a safety net.

In this way, debts aren't the exact problem but poor money management is.
Also, what concerns me is if people (in my relationships) would be able to do well financially after I am gone (that thought is despite how broken my relationships are).

Having written this much already makes me feel a bit lighter 😀

I am thinking after I would have made some progress towards my relationships and finances, I would devote some time (or rest of my time) towards my spiritual wellbeing.

I would practice forgiveness. And humility. And also the other of ten Jain virtues…

Wish you well!
Thank you for reading!
