Questions from answers

You know the old question “If you had a month to live what would you do with your life?”
It seems predictable that you wouldn’t pursue trivial things in your life and do something meaningful. Yet it seems I can go through weeks and not seem like I have done the meaningful things I have wanted to do.
I try to realize that life here on earth is quite temporary and in the grand scheme of things were not here very long, so why do I still pursue the trivial things in life?
