how do you make the most out of life?

I take one day at a time. Tomorrow is not yet here. Yesterday is gone. While it is nice to remember good things in our yesterdays and we do. We also tend to forget the bad which is healing. Tomorrow is not here and I may by the grace of God be in the tomorrow but I may be pushing up days or not wake from sleep. So I live for the day. Thanking God for each day he gives. I try to not dwell on bad things and look on the positive side of life. Even things that annoy or frusterate or hurt have lessons and can be turned around. Treasure the little things. The beauty of a flower, or song of bird, laughter of children, the sweet coldness of an ice cream cone on a hot day. The hug or kiss of loved ones. Say thank you, please and I love you often. Be prepared for what ever the day may give you, good or bad and don't dwell on the negative. God loves you. Philippians 4:13

I think to get the most out of life you need to prioritize your life. Figure out what things are the most important to you and go after them above all else. Take myself for instance, when I was younger I always thought money was what was going to make me happy. I thought that I would try to have a big shot job and make a lot of money so that I could have the material things I want. But as I've gotten a little older and I've been in love, I have realized that building lasting meaningful relationships are what really makes my life happy. I would be content to be a ditch digger or anything, as long as at the end of the day, I got to be with the one I love.

I believe by posting my opinions here in mylot is where I am making the most of my life...coz here I am able to feed in my views about very important issues that I would not normally discuss with other people and also I get to read what other people's view about them so I am able to weight how my views are and if i need to change my views based on how I perceive how accurate they are.
