Choose To Do More Than Just Exist; Choose To Live
Have you ever wondered if you’re living life to the fullest? Living life to the fullest for me is having relationships that are enjoyable, appreciating the beauty in nature, and having fun lots of it. However, sometimes I don’t have enough fun and I only have myself to blame.
There is plenty of fun to be had even if you only have a couple of dollar bills in your wallet. For example, a local community or State Park typically offers FREE admission where you can unplug, walk, or bike trails, while admiring Mother Nature and bird watching.
There are many FREE or low cost options for having fun that are way better than sitting at home binge watching your favorite television show or trolling the mall.
Life is short. It is meant to be lived. Are you fully living it?
Good Clean Fun
Our age may affect how others view us, but that shouldn’t affect how we live. Keep in mind your age is defined by your attitude, not a number! However, the sad reality is that a lot of people go through life never really experiencing everything that life has to offer. Why, because they don’t truly live, they are simply just going through the motions.
If you feel as if you are sleepwalking through life, it’s time to wake up and make a change for the better. Do you want to be remembered as someone who lived life to the fullest or someone that was a wallflower and hid in the shadows?
In order to experience true happiness, I think we need to throw caution to the wind once in a while and remember how important it is to play and have fun. There is freedom in living and having fun like we did back when we were knee-high to a grasshopper.
Embrace New Opportunities
I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it again, life is short. If you want to experience life fully, you need to seize the day, as scary as it may be. Staying in one’s comfort zone feels a lot safer. However, that’s not where the fun happens. Nobody wants to live with regret, so dive into life, and see the world with an open mind.
Focus on doing things that make you happy and you consider fun, whether that’s bowling, going for a walk, or spending some time with friends. Drop the woe is me and find the time to have fun and just be. We all need to enjoy the small moments in life that makes us feel alive.
Make Your Heart Smile
Keep in mind you are the author of your life story. Every day that we wake up we have a choice, we can choose to have fun and live life to the fullest and find things to do that give our life more meaning. Or we can sit in our rocking chairs or recliners and just exist.
This is not to say to experience life with reckless abandonment. But instead try to add some type of fun in your life that will lead way to living a richer, fuller, more balanced, and expansive life. When you stop merely existing and you start truly living, each moment of each day comes alive with wonder and excitement for what tomorrow may bring.
Needless to say, the beauty of life isn’t about aging and getting older, it’s about living and having fun!
