What fulfills your soul the most on this very earth? And how can we live our lives to the fullest, so one day when our eventual death comes we can look back on life in old age and say WOW! What an amazing life I've had!
This thought popped into my head as I visited some big homes here in Vancouver, some nice homes in the 10-60 million dollar range, and while they were pretty nice, I feel as if I moved in today, there would be some sort of emptiness to it. Sure it would be nice, but I think as humans we start to adapt and become ''used'' to privileges. You could say, take it for granted as all of us are now, we have food, we have shelter and don't think of these things as luxuries. Meanwhile somewhere on the other side of the world some kid is probably starving to death sleeping in a hut on the dirt with bugs crawling everywhere.
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I think overall when you ignore luxuries of life which I'd assume you get used to after a while and it becomes..... ''the new normal'' (lol) what's next? I am including all of the personal desires checked off such as travelling to X or Y location, have a jetski, nice cars etc.
This is kind of one of those ''what is the point of it all'' type questions, and I'm looking forward to seeing the responses, it seems like one of those questions that might be infact impossible to answer like why is the sky blue, or how did the earth magically happen.

From the great Jim Rohn "If you get a million dollars, best you become a millionaire quickly...so you can keep the money" If you don't want to keep the lifestyle, by all means spend away, but if you want to keep it...you'll have to find a way to provide value to the world so that it can be...
