Økonom ser på nær-døden opplevelse

Three days ago I rolled my car three times on a back country road at least 40 minutes away from the nearest ambulance. The car was crushed to a considerable degree except for the part I occupied, but I walked away without a scratch. My question is, what implications should this have for my life? People around me expect me to act differently, and I do feel more reflective. But aside from needing a new car, and knowing to drive more carefully on gravel roads in the future, nothing else has actually changed. Is it reasonable for me to begin introspection, or should I hold to my previous plans and priorities absent new information?
