Life is short,each of us should live it to the fullest. But I've always wondered which kind of life is more significant,To work hard everyday pursuing our dreams and realize our value,or just relax and enjoy everday that GOD has provided for us?

They are all important ingredients for living a full balanced life. Early in life we work hard to realize some of our dreams and goals, to create the lifestyle that we want. We thank God for each day as a new opportunity to take on the world. After many years of hard work and chasing your dreams, you are afforded the opportunity to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Hi, my Moto is: I work to live and I don`t live to work. The more material things you want the more goals you have in life, the harder you have to work for. If you can live in a wooden house in the forest and love it you can do it now without much of work. If you want a luxury house and a sports car you won`t have time for the life surrounding you this moment. I have often asked myself if it is not a waste of time to pursue dreams and not to live now. Maybe it is, but I honestly hope that I am getting old enough to enjoy later what I am working for now. Have fun, Tasche

If God has provided you enough to relax and enjoy, then dedicate this life for the betterment of others and the world at large. When you work hard the realization of your values will be of utmost importance, while dreams or goals will keep changing. So get the best out of life in terms of your values and what you firmly believe in.

Thank you for reminding me . Though I'm not far from want,I've got a lot already. Enjoy it and share it with others,now I think ,is a good choice.

Linyi We feel that its so good to relax and live life as it comes! But trust me its not that enjoyable. A time would come when we would get bored of this rest and lethargy. We would want to work so badly!! So I think its a mix of both We should work and relax intermittently and never overdo any of this. Then only we will get to the true essence of life. Thanks.

You can only enjoy your life, when you work hard and achieve your goals in life. You just cannot feel relaxed without achieving your goals. Working hard towards atttaining goals is key to access. Our moto towards life should be -"Work is workship". If we continue to do so.....we never come to know.......how soon our life has passed. I always believe in the above moto.

"Work is workship" Maybe you are right,I hope it won't be too late for me when I find the true meaning of life.

We can do a little of both I believe and still be satisfied. It is good to work hard every day and feel successful at what we do. It is good for our self esteem. We are all valuable in one way or another. Relaxing and enjoying what the Lord provided for us is something that is very important to day to day life also. We need to appreciate and cherish what is around us. [
