You have all the money you need, now and in the future. What will you do with it? From this moment forward, how will you live your life?2. You’ve just come back from a visit to a doctor who has discovered from you lab results that you have only five to ten years to live. You don’t have “limitless” money like question one, but you will feel healthy until you go. Knowing death is waiting for you sooner than you expected, how will you change your life? And what will you do in the time you have remaining?3. This time you visit your doctor and learn you only have twenty-four hours to live. Ask yourself, “what feelings am I experiencing? What regrets, longings or deep and now unfulfilled dreams? What do I wish I had completed, been, had, done in this life that is just about to end?”Think travel is just for the rich and famous?
