How to live the life to the fullest?

I like how you put it cause we do get caught up in this game called life we forget how to really enjoy it. So I have a mantra, Live everyday as though it is your last. Do good to people. Smile no matter what and see possibilities and when I wake up to the dawn of a new day I say Thank you for the breath of life and get ready to make the best of that day no matter what.

In my life I say thanks that thorns have roses and that even with lemons I can make lemonade...I see the positives instead of the negatives and my life has been so much better for it. That to me is bliss!

I have felt the same way but I've come to the conclusion that happiness isn't a destination; it's a way of living. And we definitely do gte caught up in all of thses issues, but I've started to say EFF'em. (MyLot doesn't allow the F word?) If I don't want to do something, I don't have to. And it's not a laziness thing, it's more like living the way you want to live. Most people don't even live, they're so caught up and everything they NEED to do. No one NEEDS to do anything, that's bull. We just need to live our lives, do what makes us happy and hope that good things happen.

Now that's a good question you raise. I ponder it all myself from time to time. I basically think that we are all here to learn something. It seems that life can be lined up for us sometimes. As you mentioned, when we were children our parents want us to be good people, study, do the right thing, earn money and of course we'll get married and raise a family. I believe happiness is within us and we just need to be at peace with ourselves and we could possible find it. Good luck.
