Some people say they "live life to the fullest", while others would say "I enjoy life" but there are people who also say "life is boring", "Life is miserable"
Life is so short, of course we all have challenges and trials that come our way and it is just part of our lives, so whatever happens we can still enjoy life...
Are you the kind of person who enjoys life? If not, why?
Thanks for the response!

Well, i live my life to the fullest.. you know, life is too short and i want to enjoy everything while i still can.. i have been sick for years and sometimes i feel worthless because i can't do the things that other people can do.. however, instead of sitting down here and crying all day, i would rather enjoy my life with the people i love...

I may be miserable for some parts of my life that I have chosen to go down the path but I will always have to admit that I do enjoy my life. I truly enjoy it because of my son and the many challenges that I am able to get over with. There are so many things that life has to offer and having challenges does not make it bad it only makes us stronger if we know how to overcome it.

'Life is what you make it.' I usually go by that mantra as it is in a neutral position. I never try to be more or less but knowing that today or tomorrow, it all depends on me. Of course, there can be down days and up days but that's all in all part of living. I'm not going to kill myself because I didn't put in 100% today. I believe in the firm belief of flexibility so no matter where life takes me, I'm ready to take it on.

Yes, I am enjoying my life. If I was religious, I'd add a 'Thank God' after that comment. If I was superstitious, I'd add a 'Touch wood' after that comment.
Either ways, the point is, I am grateful for my life and all the people in it, I am enjoying what life brings every day. This does not mean that I do not get upset or angry or frustrated or disappointed. But I try my best to look past those feelings to what really counts. And what counts is that I am alive and kicking.
So, how can I not enjoy life?

Of course I enjoy my life because I'm very happy with my life, it's true every one has a problem in his or her but they can handle that problem even in my life I have so many tension but I like all my tension's because without the tension you will live a boring life.

I try my best every day to live life to the fullest, but so many things can prevent that from happening. I have a lot of issues from my past, that im still working on, but i think each and everyday you have to be thankful for the things you have rather than mad about the things you dont have. My family gets me through everyday and lets me know that i do have a purpose here on earth. Yes bad things happen, and a lot of things we cant control, so why waste time stressing over something you had no control over, you want to make a change, then take action, seize the day, make life what you want it to be, dont sit around waiting for it to just happen for you.

I enjoy life. I should enjoy it. God gave us this special gift and we should take care of it. Whatever problems or trials that come my way. I see it as a stepping stone to make me a stronger person. ^.^

We need to enjoy life, since sometimes we have some difficulties, but its the trialls of life we need to face them. Be happy that we are alive. So your correct we should enjoy life. Be happy and contented of what we have. And treasure all the blessings that God give us. Sometime we should share also the blessings given to us. Life is wonderful so we should spend it wisely.

Yes. I enjoy life. In fact, I love my life, even with all the problems I face regularly. It is important that we be optimistic all the time. It is only in this way that we are able to face life's hardships without giving up and not getting depressed. I may not live life to the fullest. But I make sure to enjoy living my life and enjoy life's little and simple pleasures, like eating good food, strolling in white-sand beaches, hanging out with my loved ones, etc.

I love this question. I've always had a lust for life and consider myself happy but at one point in my life, I realized that happy or not, my life wasn't meaningful. I sat down and really thought about the things that I am passionate about. I narrowed the list down to four things and created related short and long term goals for each thing on my list. I'm not only happy but I feel that my life also has purpose. For those who think that life is miuserable, I suggest a daily gratitude list. Think about your life versus the lives of those poor people in Haiti. We all have so much to be grateful for.

I used to complain so much how hard life is for me but as of the moment i'm actually enjoying it and plan to enjoy it more by appreciating the smallest thing.
I'm trying my best to start all over and not rush things so that every single step is enjoyable and memorable and besides life is too short to waste by regretting or complaining about the situation.

Hello,
After a long pause indeed. Yes life is miserable for some people. It is miserable and boring for those who doesn't have any positive perspective about anything. One who doesn't know what his purpose of life is often find it uneventful. But for one who has totally understood the true value of life and has a very definite purpose to fulfill, life is a treasure. He may often feel that life is too short to do something worthwhile. Ups and downs are an inseparable part of life. An wise soul is essentially an imperturbable entity too.
Welcome back
Take care
God bless you
