Do you enjoy life to the fullest?

Are you the type of person that wants to experience life and the best that it has to offer or are you the type that just chugs along every day doing all the right things, adhering to the rules and doing what is expected of you and nothing more, nothing less?
Are you the one that always takes the bull by the horns and finds things that are fun, exciting, different and a bit crazy and find yourself having fun doing the dumbest things as well as the most exciting things, laughing your way through life?
Or do you get up at the same time every morning and do the same exact thing day in and day out at the same time, eating the same foods, going to work every day and never missing a day even if you feel as though you are dying?
If you died today, would you be happy and satisfied with the life that you've had and experienced or if you died today would you think it doesn't matter because tomorrow is going to be like today and the next day and the next?
And while I am talking about it, when I say live life to the fullest, I mean that you do get up and go to work and do what is expected of you but you just do it a little different way and find that it's better for you to be a responsible person when there is a little pizazz to go along with it!

Hello,
As far as I know, I am enjoying life to the fullest. it is one of my mottoes in life.
I want to try new things. But I am still trying to live by the rules. If there's a new restaurant, I will go and try it. I also try to be the best of what I can be.
Take care

That's great! I think as long as You think you are living life to the fullest and you are happy with the way things are going now then there is not really anything more that anyone could ask for! I think it is good that you try to live by the rules But you can also venture off and try new things also!
Thanks for responding & good luck! ;)

Living life to the fullest is the only way to live although I think to be truly successful at it one must be able to appreciate the simple things in life.

I agree with you 100% in everything that you say Canellita! I think if one can learn to appreciate the simple things in life then their life will be very full because everyone can learn how to appreciate the Best things in life,but may not always have them!

I think the best things in life have nothing to do with money :-)

I used to live my life to the fullest. I really have so many exciting life experiences and happy times as well as bad times. Right now I have a stable routine and I pretty much do the same thing everyday. I still do try to do something new or find a new opportunity each day to make my life a little better. But I am very content in my routine and happy with all the experiences that I have had.

I think that is great! If you are happy and content right now and your happy with your past experiences then who could ask for more?

to be honest, I dont think I have reached that point where I am living my life to the fullest. I am a bit of an introvert and I must I am scared of putting myself out there. I'm really not a big fan of taking risks acting a bit crazy.
although there are days when I wish I could be like that. but I dont think I am ready just yet. I like the way my life is safe and that I am in my own comfort zone right now.
who knows maybe someday I'll be able to get to that point when I'll be ready to put myself out there and just live my life to the fullest. :)

I think if you are in a comfortable place right now then you should definitely stay there because being happy is the most important thing. You may always be a bit of an introvert and never feel comfortable putting yourself out there and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Do what makes you happy and then at the end of it all if you can say that you were happy with your choices that is all that matters. One should never feel the need to do something they aren't ready for and may end up being unhappy...then it was all for nothing and life is definitely too short!
Thanks for your response! ;)
