5 Things You Must Do by the End of Your Life for Joy & Fulfillment |Wisdom from my Baby Sister

Posted by sammicakes on

I asked my little sister, “What are five things people should do by the end of their lives in order to feel like their life was fulfilling?”

Here is what she replied with:

  1. Travel somewhere outside of your home country at least once
  2. Have one career that made you feel excited to work
  3. Donate something somewhere (“clothes, money, tiny trees”)
  4. Be a caregiver to a life beyond your own (“an animal, a plant, a baby”)
  5. Have at least one close relationship at every point in your life

What do you think of this middle schooler’s wisdom? What brings fulfillment in your life?
