Lately, I've been musing on mortality. As you can
tell from the last couple of posts, I have now reached what would be considered
three-quarters of the way to 100. When I turned 50, I said, "Maybe I'm
middle-aged. Got 50 more years to go." But now, on the cusp of 70, it's
only 30. And that feels like the blink of an eye.
None of us is getting out of here alive; that's been
the fact since the day you were born. Everything we do is to live the most
fruitful and productive lives we can, making connections, building
relationships, providing value to the world, and discovering our purpose —the
one we were put on this planet to fulfill.
But the question is, did we get there? Did you manage
to do that? Did you find your purpose? Did you fulfill your purpose? These are
some of the questions that I've been asking myself. I worry that I haven't done
enough to achieve the purpose for which I was put here. I fear that I will
leave behind more problems than I solved.
Most of these questions are unanswerable, or the
answers may elude us in our own lifetimes. The people that we leave behind will
have those answers. They will know if you've done enough, they will know if you
solved more problems than you left. In many ways, the people, the
relationships, the connections that we leave behind are, in fact, our legacy.
