So I always here people talking about I have to do this when I am young or that and some people say they really never experience life. What do you think life means?

I am not young. But I'm also having a difficult time understanding this. When I was young and carefree, I did a lot of stupid things. Maybe it was funny then, but it sure isn't funny looking at it now. Maybe that's why people say it was enjoyable then, because we aren't constrained by responsibilities.

I think you have to make the best of life no matter how poor your circumstances are at that moment. I'm by far not the happiest person in the world and for the past 10 months especially. Right now I'm trying to get over my disappointment of not getting to live where I'd really love, or like, to live. You try to live in the moment and relish that moment; a moment full of peace, comfort and tranquility. Find something to do that you enjoy. Like if you're are up late at night and you have the luxury of having a computer and being online; you find something you really enjoy doing. Like mylot; I really enjoy writing on mylot and making a few pennies along the way. Other things to enjoy are watching a movie, reading a good book, fixing something good to eat, taking a walk and lots more. On my wish list would be to have a car so I could take drives places. That's something I don't get to do and I would really enjoy doing that. I love discovering new, exciting places.

Life means doing what you want to do. Is it easy to do that? No. There are other things in life, unfortunately, that we have to do, such as, going to school, going to work, raising children, etc... So, the time to enjoy life is real limited. Thats why everyday has to be taken one day at a time. Remember, time is short.

For me life is about enjoying the things you had,the things that happen to you right now and cherish it all.

Life means to me to enjoy your surroundings and make the best out of life that you can. Working is life, paying bills is life, living on your own is life, and then there are other things in life that you probably want that isnt a need in life. Going places and on vacation is a want and not a need. Sometimes in life you have to look at the needs before the wants and to the needs first and then you can do the wants in life. I believe life is made up of choices and you have to choose the correct ones in life. Life is so many things and its believing in yourself to do what you think is right and living life to your fullest at all times of the day.

Enjoying life means to me- when I feel happiness for thing/s that I am doing. When I feel contentment from small things. Happiness is when I saw my family happy and healthy. Happiness when I made/make my friends laugh and see them smile. Enjoying life is not all about money and luxury- it is about feelings and emotions that counts the most. have a good day jaiho®

Enjoying life is to live the best you can in the best way possible. We have been given the potentials to achieve our best.If we cannot discover our potential to be the best we can, then we might have lived in vain. Life is LIVING and loving IMMEASURABLY FAITHFULLY to and for ETERNITY.
