This week @LadiesofHive contest questions are:
Contest #223
1️⃣ Have you written up a Will and filed it, protecting your spouse and children? Take control of your estate, assets, or worldly possessions — make sure you leave behind to those you wish it to go to!
~ 𝐀𝐍𝐃 / 𝐎𝐑 ~
2️⃣ Successful women understand that perfection isn’t the goal — progress is. What steps are you personally taking to progress in 2025? Describe the situation, reasoning, and how you intend to set plans into motion.
This contest is giving me a nudge on something that is long pending on my list to do. No, I have not yet written my will and nor have my hubby done it and we both have to take this up seriously and do it. We have only one Son, so by default everything goes to him, but then it is still better to do it. This I realized 4 years back when my mom's brother passed away. He had no children and he always mentioned that we all were his children, and everything that was his would be passed down to us between all of us cousins.
He passed away during Covid times and we were all away from each other in that time for a long duration. In that time, one of the neighbors got close to him and got hold of all his assets. We still cannot figure out how all of it was done. But, only if he had made a proper will and filed it, that crook person would not have been able to cheat anyone of us.
In that moment only, I told my hubby that even though if we have one son and everything by default goes to him, we should get the will done, because there are times when our loved ones are not around and a third person from outside can come and take advantage of the situation, like this man who did it with my uncle. And if you do not then you end up with court cases and unnecessary stress. In my Uncle's case, we let go off everything because we did not want to go through the court stress, as it is in that time my hubby's health was not at the best and I did not want any thing that would impact his health in any manner.
I have always liked to be the easy going type of person and never really stressed on perfection in any matter, a little bit here and there is ok for me, which applies to me in my personal life as well. For me only one thing matters which is living by my core values of honesty.
Honestly I do not have any such plans for 2025 or even for future, I just want to live life in the moment, bring each day with a smile and live my life with full integrity, mindfulness and awareness. Yes, I do have goals which I keep working towards and I keep evaluating the progress of my goals time and again.
There is nothing kind of being a perfect me concept for me. I am happy with what I am and how things are flowing for me in the current state of my life.
