LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST

Yes Dear Friends, many a times we think - are we living our life to the fullest, are we satisfied with whatever we do and if we are not than what needs to be done about it.  

We all have a right to live our lives in our own way and on our own terms.  Though it may be difficult and maybe wrong at times but then we can always change and take the right path and stand up and start again, if we find we are stumbling.  We need to be strong, Yes really strong, as in life we face a lot of hurdles as 'life is not a bed of roses' and we need to overcome them.

Regards and best wishes for Durga Navratri and have a great holiday to you all.

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST

“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.” – Mark Twain

“Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

How do you feel about your life today? Are you living every day in exuberance? Do you love what you’re doing? Are you excited every single moment? Are you looking forward to what’s coming up next? Are you living your best life?

If the answer to any of the above is a no, maybe or not sure, that means we’re not living life to the fullest. Which really shouldn’t be the case, because our life experience is up to us to create. Why settle for anything less than what we can get? We deserve nothing but the best and we need to work hard to get it. We must pursue our passion and charge of it ourselves.

We only live once, and life is tragically short. It’s easy to look at people who are happy and assume they don’t understand our pain. The older we get, the more we realize that happiness takes work. People who smile in public have been through every bit as much as people who cry, frown, scream, etc. They just have the courage and strength to smile through it anyway. So how do we ensure we’re living life to the fullest?

We must live every day to the fullest, filled with joy, passion and rigor. It’s an amazing experience that we need to experience that too.

We must decide what’s important to us  It doesn’t matter what it is. Everyone have their own opinions, but at the end of the day, we’re the only person who will be around for every moment of our life. Do what makes us happy.  Everything else will fall into place.

Sometimes, there’s danger involved in life, but every reward carries risk with it. If we never take risks, we’ll never get anywhere in life.  When people look back on their lives, they regret the chances they didn’t take more than the ones they did.

It is very important for us to show our love, as our Family will always appreciate hearing you love them. It will brighten a stranger’s day. If we have a romantic interest in someone, just go for it. There are a lot of ways it may end, and only one of them keeps them in our life forever. Just go for it. We have nothing to lose.

Our past is important to learn from. Our future is important to work towards. At the end of the day, though, the only thing that exists outside of our head is the present. So we should think about our past and future, but only dwell on the present.

No matter what we decide to do with our life, there will always be someone around to point out the many ways we’ll fail. Know that every winner loses, but not every loser wins. Successful people don’t start out successful. What makes them successful is that they keep pushing through failure.

If something doesn’t feel right, we must not do it. Don’t compromise on our internal code of ethics. Life doesn’t work like a movie. It’s filled with gray areas. We must trust our instincts. Do whatever we want so long as we can look our self in the mirror.

It doesn’t take much to help someone in need.  It makes us feel good as the saying goes ‘we must do at least one good deed a day’.  We need to keep our mind open. Just because we’re right about something doesn’t mean there aren’t other ways to look at it.  Listening to ideas we don’t agree with or understand keeps your brain active and healthy.  Our action speaks for what we are.

We can wait for opportunities to drop in life. Or, we can go out there and create our own opportunities. The latter is definite and much more empowering. We need to live more consciously each day and stop sleepwalking through life.  Our life is something to be experienced, not coasted through.

So go ahead and do whatever you crave for may it be, work wise, travel, friends, living your way - go ahead for it, so that you don’t regret before it is too late.  You can always give it a try.
