“what’d you do if you have only one year left?”– my take

Don’t spend too much time trying to find the answer. Don’t discuss with your friends. Don’t make it an ice breaker. Don’t press your loved ones for too serious a quest. Don’t even try to come up with a ‘good’ answer. Don’t make it a writing exercise. Don’t put your answer neatly on a paper and lock it away. Don’t prioritize or make a plan for it, be it a 12-mth plan or 50-yr plan. Don’t.

Change the question to: “what’d you do if your life ends when the sun goes down tomorrow?”

Don’t write your answer down (as you always do), and don’t struggle with choices. Trust your instinct, whatever that comes to your mind now, just Do it.
