Bringing life to this planet takes holistic preparation from both ends of its life- bearers—the parents. It is a must that we must also pay the same attention in our anticipation for the call of death. Life starts and life ends—it’s an imperative cycle. What varies is how we live our lives in the greatest pursuit of loving others as we love ourselves.
Preparing for the future is essential to ensure that you and your loved ones are taken care of, no matter what life may bring. With that, here are a few things you could do to prepare for you and your family’s future:
1. Get a health card: Ensure access to quality healthcare by obtaining a health card, which provides coverage for medical expenses and ensures you and your family receive the care you need when you need it most.
2. Shield Your Loved Ones: Invest in a range of insurance policies—life, health, property, and disability—to safeguard your family and assets. With insurance, you are not just protecting finances, you are buying peace of mind against life’s unforeseen events.
3. Fortify Your Finances: Open a savings account and fortify your financial fortress. An emergency fund acts as a buffer against unexpected expenses—preserving your long-term financial goals through thick and thin.
4. Legalize Your Legacy: Notarize your non-current assets—deeds, wills, trusts, and estate plans—to secure your legacy with crystal-clear legality. This avoids inheritance headaches and family disputes in the future.
5. Nourish Your Soul: Dedicate time to nurture your faith and embody its teachings in your daily journey. Whether through prayer, meditation, or community involvement: let your faith be the beacon of hope that will help you
pass through the storms of the ocean of life.
