In addition to asking yourself questions, consider the value of creating a bucket list which details all of the things that you’d like to do prior to dying. This process can entail self-discovery as you develop a deeper awareness of your fears and personality through the identification of activities that you’d like to engage in.

A sample bucket list might look like this…
