You'll be asked quite a bit actually. Judaism teaches that each person is accountable for four things when we leave this earth:
1) What did you do with the piece of Me I put in you? Your purpose I created in you?
2) Did you do business in good faith? Were you honest and just in business dealings? Speaking out against a boss or co-worker damages their soul; and thereby robs God who created that soul and gave it purpose.
3) Did I love my neighbor as my own self? Did I treat him in love and bless even those who curse me?
4) Did I hope for Messiah’s return?
Evaluate yourself. How are you doing? What do you need to work on?
Ask a friend who you can trust to tell you the truth. Ask them, "How am I doing? What do I need to work on?"
Then ask a co-worker. And a neighbor. What did they say?
If you were to die today, how would you answer these questions?
