What is it that you enjoy most about life?

Life seems to me a continuous process of living. Each day seems to me a new leaf of life. What amazes me is the sheer uncertainty of life. This makes me look at life with both positive and negative outlooks. I just feel sad that I cannot stop the process of being aged. I am not afraid of getting aged as I believe with age comes wisdom. It is just disappointing to know that we can only recall our past but cannot live in it the way we lived while it was actually happening. The moments of joy or sorrow, feelings and etc never stay static and this makes me to go back and live through the time again and again as if it would never pass by. Do you feel like me?

A very good topic indeed.Life is amazing in itself.Each and every aspect of it leaves us spellbound.I enjoy the continuously changing experiences that we undergo in our life.Only ten days back,my nephew became the father of a son.I saw the infant when it was brought out of the labor room in the hospital.Yesterday I saw it again.It was changed.Last night I was feeling depressed.Today I am joyous.Circumstances,faces,bodies,scenes everything around us has been changing continuously.Time once gone can never be reverted.This is what leaves me awestruck.

I agree.There is a famous saying in Sanskrit,'Beauty is something that continues changing continuously.'So life is beautiful.And so let us enjoy the affable beauty of life.Thanks a lot.Enjoy.

Yes, there is no going back. If I could I would certainly have wanted to do a few things that I have not done in my life. Life is amazing in itself and it has so much to offer yet we are stuck in time. It seems like we have been trying at doing some thing ever since we were born. Just my little thoughts. I am lucky that I actually enjoy my life very much.

Now i am 54+. At this juncture since i have completed all my responsibilities satisfactorily, i think i enjoy in seeing the progress of my son. He is a computer engineer and already working with a multinational company. Now my idea of an enjoyment is to spend a peaceful life with my son and his family and obviously with my wife.

I can imagine you are having a wonderful life. It is such a joy to be able to see the progress of one's children making progress in life. Also the fact that you have completed all your responsibilities satisfactorily is a great accomplishment in your life.

You are right, life is very uncertain. We rarely get the expected things and always meet the unexpected things in life. My life till the age of 20 was very beautiful and peaceful. These past 10 years have been dreadful. Honestly speaking I do not want to go back in time or relive the past moments as I would better treasure them as the cherished memories. Rather I would want my present and future to be delightful and splendid.

That is life, is not it? Going through ups and down is one definition of life. The present is very transient, it becomes past anytime soon. The past is ever growing, there seems no way of getting rid of the past lol.

Life is amazing indeed! If I have to recall everything that happened before, I could say that life is worth enjoying. Having my family with me is one thing to make my life happy. I don't regret if there are times that I was able to commit several mistakes along the way. What is important is for me to learn from those mistakes and live life to the fullest.

There is at least no want of components or elements that can make us unhappy in life. I take life as it comes to me. At the same time, I always try to make most out of it and enjoy life.

I enjoy being a mother to my 18-month old son. I try to cherish every moment that I have with my child because once he's grown up he'll have a family of his own. I bet by the time he hits puberty he wouldn't even want to be seen with me. lol

Nice way to say that lol. You have a nice outlook towards life, the most important thing is you are enjoying your life so much being a mother to your wondeful son. I wish you all the best in life.

Yeah it is continuous process of living which you need to follow the flow, what I'm trying to say we all have given a chance to live here in earth that we can't waste our time we need to enjoy all the beautiful places enjoy helping others and doing your best to succeed in your dreams because it is only a one in a life time experiences all of us wanting a happiness then do it without violating the law of our God. Happy mylotting my friend have a nice day! :)

It is all about following the flow, yes I agree with you my friend RSantos026. I have decided to live without worrying too much on things that I cannot control or that I cannot just achieve. Not that every person will achieve everything in life. I was much shattered for many years for not being able to achieve a few things in life. But I realised later that there was no point of focusing on something that is impossible to attain because I would have to travel back. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

At the moment, I am enjoying planning for the future and being able to earn money to do the things that I would like to do with my life. I am also loving spending a lot of time with my family right now, and I know that they are the ones who are always going to be there for me no matter what happens in my life. Far too many people take their families for granted, and I don't want to be one of those people. I would like to make the most of being able to spend time with them now while I still can, because we will all be very busy in the future and I would't like for this to happen at all.

I have no desire to relive past experiences. I love the life I'm experiencing, right now. The thing I most enjoy about my life is my sense of freedom. I have no employee and no husband; therefore, I have no one that I'm required to answer to. I am free to be myself, always. I also have the freedom to spend my time the way I feel inspired to spend it. I do what I want, when I want to do it.

It is so nice to learn about how you are treating your life (or is life treating you? lol). That is really great sherrybelle that you choose how you want to live like and that you have such boldness to lead your life according to your own choices. Not many people can do enjoy things always the way they want to. I wish you a wonderful life always.

hi bdfreelancer! I agree with you, each new day is totally different from the days that had passed. I'm a public school teacher and everything is a routine. Get up early, go to school, teach, go home, do some chores and sleep but what makes a day different from the other is that somethings just got out of the way to make each day unique. God places people and things to make your day extraordinary. Have a positive outlook in life, do not think of toxic thoughts. Great life ahead!
