How do you live life to the fullest?

Question

I want to be able to be the most perfect, polite, educated, clean, friendly, open-minded and a well-enjoyed-to-be-around-with person.

I want to be able to take the perfect pictures during the most prime once-in-a-lifetime opportunities in life like (i.e. wedding, graduation,) and have no regrets about taking pics at the wrong time, or forgetting the camera all together, (I'm a photo-savvy person :D) And i basically just want to live life to the fullest, and be happy, and not waste my time smoking, or drinking, or being depressed, and just enjoy life and my friends and family while i can, because life really is short. Has anyone else ever felt like this at a time in their life? Or pondered it? Or could add to what i have said? :D Thanks! =]

Answer 1

I found this poem 2 years ago, I wrote it in a book I gave to my Best Friend when she moved away, and I have a copy of it on my bulletin board at work.  I love to read it and regain my focus in life.  I hope you will find yourself inspired by it as well.

Allow Your Own Inner Light to Guide You.........

There comes a time when you must stand alone.

You must feel confident enough within yourself to follow your own dreams.

You must be willing to make sacrifices.

You must be capable of changing and rearranging your priorities so that your final goal can be achieved.

Sometimes, familiarity and comfort need to be challenged.

There are times when you must take a few extra chances and create your own realities.

Be strong enough to at least try to make your life better.

Be confident enough that you won't settle for a compromise just to get by.

Appreciate yourself by allowing yourself the opportunities to grow, develop, and find your true sense of purpose in this life.

Don't stand in someone else's shadow when it's your sunlight that should lead the way.

Answer 3

life isn't a game it is by definition life... You get out of life what you put into it, you become who you trained to be you were good or you weren't but what starts to s***w up all philosophies is when you are sitting middle aged trying to think of a way for mankind to remember who you are or were. Trying to give importance to a life that didn't matter squat to no one and realizing at a young age that yes you can do something with your life something that might just be worth being remembered for and it hits you like a ton of bricks...
