How do you enjoy life?

Or should the question be : How can you enjoy life? No, that's too negative. Life, indeed, is too short. So full of life in one instance and then the next thing you know you're gasping or breathing your last breath. How do you enjoy life? By living one day at a time, I think. Enjoying every second of your life, enjoying the company of love ones. All things will come to pass, even your problems and heartaches.

Well, enjoying life is good enough besides many problems and trials in life. I enjoy being with my family and love ones... Are you lonely that is why you ask this things, my friend? To enjoy my life is that being committed with God. I am enjoying what life I have to be besides of being lowly peasant... Have a nice day!

i don't like to look to far into the future as things tend to change suddenly, i like to go with the flow and not be too dramatic when theres an occurence

i wouldn't say a day at a time but i think you're right, no point in worrying about things you have no control over

Taking one day at a time. You know, sometimes, people are confused, because of the different suggestions that other people give. Some say plan for the future, other say take it a day at a time. But, maybe, I'll follow what the Bible recommended, which is not to worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take care of itself.

I swim and I cycle on a regular basis and this gives me so much pleasure! I think that you need to do a lot of what you enjoy doing otherwise life becomes really depressing. Other than the cycling and swimming I don't do much of anything else! Well, I love to read and I read a lot, this is definitely a favourite pastime of mine. I also love escaping into the world of secondlife and I have created my avatar in their to my own liking! I think it's important to take one day at a time, this is what I do and I don't think or ponder too much on what the future may or may not hold. I love watching movies and my favourite movie of all time has to be Avatar! I think that everyone loves this movie! I have seen this film three times now and there's definitely a lot of pleasure as well as escapism to be had from watching this movie! Generally I try to remain positive in my life and yes, there are those difficult days when I just don't feel like doing anything but I do manage to cope. Andrew

That's the key, I think. Doing what you enjoy doing (as long as don't bother anyone, of course).

great answer there AndreFreyne! Live each day and enjoy every moment of that very day not thinking for tomorrow and not bothered by the past. Be positive... @pinoycity sometimes it's not very easy to just do what we enjoy doing because some people would just criticize you. Although we say "I don't care whatever they say", we somehow get affected with that criticism. It is in our culture that we care for what other people will say about us...we take care of our family's name. But it is our choice whether we do it or not, right. So let's be happy and bring happiness to others..

Life is truly too short. It seems as if you graduate from college one day and you wake up the next close to retirement age. What works for me is to try to make teh most of each day because none of us are guaranteed a tomorrow. When I set off to make my life more meaningful, I did a lot of soul searching to discover those things that I was passionate about and then I brainstormed ways to incorporate those things into each day.

Yes, that's a good point - life being too short and it will be a loss to spend it complaining. Easier saying it than doing it but, well, that's life.

DO whatever that pleases you. But make sure that you don't sin.

Yes, you have to take note of others too. We can do things that pleases us but without affecting others (or our soul).

I enjoy life by just doing the things what makes my happy. Spending quality time with family, groups of friend & even with my boyfriend. A simple talks will do,get together with friends (drinking squeeze me). Sometimes I think life in a positive way even though there are problems coming alone, I still need to be positive (good attitude,right?). What else??? Lets inspire people to do good things towards other. guys, lets enjoy life to the fullest because once where there for sure you know what i mean...you'll never turn back the time.

It is easier to enjoy life when you are surrounded by your friends and family. Simple things in life can make a miserable life bearable - like listening to the sound of rain, laughing even if you are alone, etc. Corny, but, it works

As a Zen practitioner I aim to live each moment because that is all we have. I practice daily meditation (zazen) where the mind is focused and still. Happiness is not something that can be forced, but will come to each of us when the mind is still and at peace. Yesterday is gone, so therefore there is no point in holding regret, tomorrow isn't available, so there is no point in having feaful expectations for it. There is only now, and it is only when the mind it focused on the past or future that there is stress and discomfort. If there is stress and discomfort, it is best to focus on it, and learn what the body/mind is trying to communicate.. _Derek

Hi! Just push the negativity to the side and focus on the good things. Surround your self with good company, good attitude, good environment. Block those people, event, news that puts you down. It's your life, your decision. If you decide to be miserable then you'll be. If you decide to be happy and successful then you will be. Positivity!

smile. laugh. cry. feel what you want to feel. do what you want (as long as no one is hurt or bothered) and enjoy life to the fullest. hang out with friends, family and others. lots of stuff might happen to life but the best thing to do is face it with courage and do what's best.

That is one unique way to enjoy life : CRY. Reading your answer, I told myself : why not? Crying brings out the heavy things inside you, makes you feel more relaxed and its healthy too. Bad emotions can lead to ailments so let it all out. There are even restaurants here in the Philippines where they give you ceramic plates for you throw to a wall, imagining the wall as someone who did you wrong.

I enjoy life by living in the present. I just go with the flow and just enjoying the show. Life is complicated but it can also be whatever you want it to be: happy, exciting, dramatic, sad, exotic, etc.. It's up to you how you're gonna live it.

You will enjoy life in spending it with your family, friends and loved ones and be thankful for everything that God given to you, small ones to bigger ones. Most importantly, by doing good things to others or for those in need. But of course, we could not enjoy life if there is no challenge in life like facing our problems. Our problems enter to our lives in order to be strength and learn from it. Just balance your life in everything and you will enjoy it!

I enjoy life by living surrounded with the people I know love me, and I can be comfortable with each time. I enjoy life when I am doing the things i love. I enjoy life also when I am pursuing the dreams of my parents to me. Life has its many surprises and prices, it gives me too many reasons to enjoy life, so enjoy life by just being thanful of everydays surprises,lessons and teachings in life

Life?? For me, life is so important and it is a treasure because it is a gift. Life is once in a lifetime only so grab the opportunity and take good care of it. We must enjoy life to the fullest because we dont know when is the end of our life. Trials??circumstances??? It is just a spices to our life so, go on....
