We should be concerned about how we interact with others, because our time here is limited, we only have about 40-60 years. After that, things will start falling apart. We all start to forget things and our main focus will be our plans for the later years of our lives.
What it is that you want?
Think of what you would like to read on your tombstone. A little morbid idea, but go on and give it a try. It may reveal your deepest urges and desires. How would you describe your personality in a way that would satisfy you? Of course, we can control some parts of our lives better than the others, but sometimes there are things over which we have no control. The real end is always is out of our control.
Golden rules of happiness
