Right now, I believe that this is the only life you will ever have. If there is an after life or some form of reincarnation or the possibility that my soul lives on in any eternal form, i could not know it from my perspective. No afterlife, no reincarnation... sounds like a bad outlook ;)
If I have no possibility to know what happens to me after this life, the best thing i can do is to give my life now meaning. Or purpose.
So, all i know is, that one day, i will die. And another thing that i can know is, that there will be some last words. And i wonder: What shall they be? What shall be my last words? If I could choose. When I look back from the last day of my life... all the way back... on what life do I want to look back on?
Looking at your life like it is the only thing you will ever experience can give you a lot of perspective on the significance of your actions.
When you arrive at the last day of your life... and you look back: What do you want to see?
