The 10 Things You Should Ask Your Father Before he Dies?

Updated: Oct 31, 2022



Are there questions you still have for your father?


I'm in my early 40's. My dad is in his late 70's.


At times I think he'll live forever, but I know that's just not true.


If you're getting older like some of us, and lucky enough to still have your father in your life today, now could be the best time to ask your father some questions before it's too late.


This article was inspired by this great post on Fatherly.com so let's give credit where it's due...



...And now here's my list of top ten things I'll be asking my Father very soon.




10 Things You Should Ask Your Father Before he Dies:


1. What were some of the greatest experiences in your life?


2. What experiences would you still like to have before you die?


3. What little things do you enjoy now most in life?


4. What do you realize you took for granted in your life?


5. What little things did you love doing as a kid that you never talk about?


6. What goals or dreams did you have when you were young?


7. What advice would you give me now that you haven't been able to tell me yet?


8. What are your biggest regrets in life?


9. If you could go back in time and change just ONE thing in your life, what would it be?


10. If you could put a sign on a billboard to tell the world ONE message - what would it be? And why?



So what questions do you have for your father, if you're lucky enough to still have him around today?


Until next time, take care of yourselves and each other.

WHAT IS THE INSPIRED? WHO IS IT DESIGNED FOR? 

In the fall of 2017 I founded The-Inspired.com as my way of contributing back to the world.  Never before has so much powerful, educational, informative life changing knowledge been available to us online. The Inspired is a BEST oF compilation of those sources, with a specific goal in mind...

 

I heard something recently that I know rings true: The reason most people don't reach their goals in life is because they don't have a clear idea of what their goals are. And then for those who do have a clear vision, they don't stick with the daily process of working on reaching those goals until the job is done.  

 

What we do each day matters.  From new or seasoned professionals in the business world, retirees in their 50's to golden years, and for stay at home moms or dads, this website is designed for you.  Moving forward in your journey means living a better life.  It means improving your career, reducing  stress or anxiety. It means finding fulfillment in each day, and purpose in life, at any age.
