Multiple day post ...

What do you feel is the meaning of life? I have my ideas but want to hear some other ideas. When your dash is done ... How will you define success?

Many ways to say it but a simple way is 'leave it better than you found it.'

I think part of the meaning of life, or defining success, is being able to beat the challenges life throws at you. You know a person’s worth by the size of their problems in life.

To me, the only thing that matters once I'm gone is what I leave behind. Of course I hope my soul ends up someplace nice, but not at the expense of leaving behind a mess on earth. "What I leave behind" is pretty broad... What do you hope to leave behind?

Probably an obvious one, but I’d hate to leave my family with a bunch of shitty debt.

I have always been interested in near death experience stories. nderf.org has thousands you can read for free. Not one the same but many similarities. My dad had a book by Raymond Moody that I read at about age 12. I was amazed by the uniqueness of each story. Many videos on you tube.

My favorite podcasts are

Beyond near death (I can almost fall asleep to his style and seep voice)

Lets Talk Near Death (She's from New Zealand and has all the known people)

NDE Podcast (Mormon guy but leaves his religion mostly out of it)

Most of these people have technically died and been revived.

I heard Howard Storm on the radio tell his story as an athiest

Starts out scary but ends well. Totally changed his life.

I agree with you though I want to leave a better place behind. I think our prize is afterwards.
