We spend most of our days just drifting from one place to another, not knowing what we are living for. Before we can savor the moment, we think about things that don’t really matter. Although our body is there at that moment, our soul is elsewhere. Every day we spend not knowing where our heart belongs, we feel more lost and more aimless.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Why don’t we stop and question what we’re doing?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
We are all in the same boat and thinking about what to do on the way. The choices we make along the way determine who we are. Our experiences and choices make us who we are. Maybe you can reconsider what you want out of life thanks to this 24-year-old’s letter.<\/div>\n
Let’s take a look at this letter, whose story has shaken everyone since the day it was shared on Reddit. It reminds us once again that we have so little time in the world and that it is important to devote that time to what really matters to us, rather than wasting it.<\/div>\n
Here is that letter:<\/div>\n
…<\/div>\n
I’m only 24, but I’ve already chosen my tie for my funeral in a few months. It may not fit my suit but I think it would be perfect for the occasion. I was diagnosed with cancer too late to have any hope of a long life, but the most important thing about death is to make sure that your contributions make the world better than it was before you. My presence or absence won’t matter as I’ve lived my life up until now because I haven’t done anything meaningful.<\/div>\n
There were many things that preoccupied me. When I found out how much time I had left, I realized what really matters. I am writing to you for selfish reasons. I want to give meaning to my life by sharing what I’ve noticed with you.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u25c6 Don’t waste your time in a job you don’t like. It’s clear that you can’t be successful at something you don’t like. Patience, passion and dedication will come easily only when you love what you do.<\/div>\n
\u25c6 It’s stupid to be afraid of other people’s opinions. Fear weakens you and leaves you helpless. If you let him, the situation will only get worse every day, until there is nothing left of you. Listen to your inner voice and follow whatever it says. Some people might call you crazy, others might think you’re a myth.<\/div>\n
\u25c6 Take control of your life. Take responsibility for everything that happens to you. Get rid of bad habits and try to live a healthy life. Find a sport that makes you happy. Never delay. Let your life be shaped by the decisions you make, not others.<\/div>\n
\u25c6 Appreciate the people around you. Your friends and relatives will always be an endless source of love and strength, so don’t see them as people you can always reach.<\/div>\n
\u25c6 It’s hard to describe how important it is to me that you realize this, but I hope you’ll listen to someone who understands how important time is.<\/div>\n
I’m not sad because I think my last days are meaningful. I’m just sad that I won’t be able to see AI and Elon Musk’s next great projects. I hope the wars in Syria and Ukraine will also end soon.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We are very concerned about the health and well-being of our bodies. our body; It is nothing more than a box through which we can reveal our character, thoughts, beliefs, feelings, and purposes for the world. If there is nothing in this box that can change the world, its disappearance makes no sense. I believe we all have potential. Realizing potential takes courage.<\/div>\n
You can drift in a life shaped by circumstances. You can watch the hours go by, or you fight for what you believe in and write your own life story. I hope you will make the right choice.<\/div>\n
\n

Leave a mark in this world, have a meaningful life, head towards that goal. Where we’re leaving is a beautiful playground where anything is possible, but we’re not here forever. Our life is just a tiny spark on this beautiful planet that flies at incredible speed through the endless darkness of the unknown universe. Fill your time with passion, make your life interesting and meaningful.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Thanks<\/div>\n
