The Beginning and The End

I am wondering, what is important in my life? I have many capabilities and opportunities, and I'm wondering, what should I do? I am retired and could just watch TV all day if I wanted, but that would be boring and a waste of my life. Of all the possible activities, which are the ones that I would do well to select?

My criteria is, imagine when I am lying on my deathbed, and I say something like "I wish I had done blank blank." That's what I want to be doing now. So that on my deathbed, I will say, "I am so glad I did blank blank. It's exactly what I wanted to do."

The question I ask myself is "how will I know what those things are BEFORE I am lying on my deathbed?" If I can answer that question, then I know what to do with my life. I know where to spend my energy. That will give me the direction I seek so that I don't waste the years of my life that remain.
