Pause if you will this Sunday 21st Sept 2025. Think about where you are. Now you may be in the prime of your life, your earning capacity is the maximum, your health is well and under control, you have ample reserves in your bank account and assets. If you are in this place, well and good, but think what or where you will be physically and mentally say 20 to 25 years on.
What would you need to do, to think that you have had a good life at 83 or 85 years of age ?
This set me thinking when I watched a Youtube video about a Brit who has lived in Singapore these last 20 years, his first Japanese wife passed on just 3 years into their marriage when they were both living in Singapore and he decided to stay on, even though he was burdened financially and emotionally with 2 young toddlers. Very tough on him and crucial decisions which he made and he is now on Youtube telling his life story and what would make his life meaningful.
I strongly believe that if I use my dilligence, talents, and relationships I can and will make a difference to the lives of people that matter to me.
My immediate family, my extended family, my company, my close friends and then on further afield to my alma mater, my school and business associated friends and then so on and so forth.
If I have made an impact, then when I am 85, I will be relatively satisfied to myself that I mattered to some people who meant so much to me.
My mindset would then be preparing for my next stage, death. I am not very religious, but I believe that God exists and He should be guiding me as I move on in life.
