How can you "live life to the fullest" in simple, doable ways?

Question

What are everyday things you can do to "live life to the fullest" instead of just to going through the motions? Or... is it absolutely necessary to do "it" BIG to get the most out of life?

Answer 1

You first have to decide what your goals/morals/priorities are to a degree.

To "live life to the fullest", means quality...not just quantity.  Only you can decide what the best things to fill your life with would be.

That said, the best advice is that you should spend your time doing positive things for/with positive people.  Stop hanging out with people who drag you down and who are seemingly lost in their own journey.

Realize that Love and Respect are probably the most valuable commodities you will ever find, and to cultivate those things like one would tend a garden.  Giving and getting Love and Respect is a good sign that you arent being too selfish with your time while you are trying to suck the marrow out of the bone of life.

Dont be afraid of losing who you are now for what you could become.  Dont get caught up in "the rat race" or chasing a dollar sign around all day thinking that it will bring you happiness.

Understand that you will regret more "the things you HAVENT DONE" over the things "you HAVE done" nine times out of 10.  Take risks, but dont be careless.  

Answer 2

Don't turn down opportunities.  Even if it sounds too out there.  If it is not illegal, immoral or dangerous, do it!.  Follow your heart

Answer 3

In modern society, I don't think you can really "live life to the fullest" unless you're wealthy.  In order to travel the world, switch up lifestyles at short notice, have a wide array of unique and pleasurable experiences and do many of the other things people commonly say makes life full, you need a rather large amount of money to afford it.  People who aren't wealthy are usually stuck living paycheck to paycheck and basically going through the motions just to survive.  Not having much money severely limits your options in life.  If you want to live life to the fullest without being rich, you have to condense what you consider makes life full.  That's where old adages such as "money doesn't buy happiness", "the best things in life are free" or "the simple things matter the most" come in to placate the have nots.  

Answer 4

To me living life to the fullest means more and more being good to my family and letting them know I love them.  It used to be more about me but now at the age I am I am realizing Im not permanent, some day Ill be in the dirt with the others.  Its how you treat others that is your legacy.

Answer 5

Help others.
