A week ago, I got a comment on one of my videos that said "Could you do a video on how to live to the fullest." It made me think about what we need to do to live life to the fullest. There are so many different ways to live a full life, and it is different for every single person. After contemplating, I realized there are somethings that we can all do to live life to the fullest.
The first is that we try to live everyday like it is our last. This one was probably the most cliche one that I could think of, but I still think that it is important. We never know when we are going to die, so we need to be satisfied and ask ourselves "If I died today, would I be happy with the life I have lived?" If the answer is yes, then that is fantastic, and you should keep living life like you are. If the answer is no, then I think a change should be made so that we can be happy if we died tomorrow. This is going to be different for every single person. Some people just want to be surrounded with friends and family, others may want to be skydiving, there is no way to know how every person would want if they were going to die tomorrow.
If there are many things that you want to do before you die, then the perfect thing to make is a bucket list. This way, you are checking off one thing at a time that you want to do before you die. If you keep the bucket list somewhere you can always see it, then you will constantly be participating in life, and that will allow you to live a fuller life. The bucket list should be a whole bunch of things that you have never done in your life that you want to do. They are things that give you an adrenaline rush, make you happy, make you laugh, and allow you to have a good time. This would be a good time to put things on your list that allow you to branch out and do things you may not normally do. Every time you experience something new and check it off your bucket list, act like a 5 year old, experiencing everything for the first time. It is fun to act like a little kid and forget you are an adult for a little bit.
I think it is very important to find something that you are passionate about, and then go out and do what ever that may be. There will be road bumps. People will tell you no. They will tell you "You can't do that because_________." But, never give up. If you want it, keep working at it until you get it. Don't give up, or give in to what they are saying. You can be and do whatever you want. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something.
Before we can move on I think we have to forgive those who have done us wrong. It allows the weight to be lifted off our shoulders and be happier people. We aren't hanging on to the past, but we are moving on to better and brighter things.
We also need to find the good in every situation. It is easy to find the bad in situations because more often than not, it is the easier thing to see. If we look a little closer, we can see the good and make good out of the situation. This allows up to get the most out of the situation and therefore get more out of life.
Third, we need to love one another. There are many people in this world that feel unloved when really they are surrounded by many people that love and care for them. We need to show one another love because no one deserves to feel unloved.
Finally, we must not dwell on the past or live in the dreams of the future. It is easy to get caught in the past because it is familiar, but it has already happened and there is nothing we can change about it now. We live in the future because it seems better than our present and it is where we want to be. Instead, we should be creating goals so we can reach them in the future. We can become that person that we are dreaming of by working for it in the present.
So, those are some things that I think will help allow you to live a fuller life.
Love,
Chrissy
