I don't know how to live my life to the fullest. but one thing is to have a good job and a good salary. this is the most basic problems everyone facing. what is a good job? firstly, the job must be your interests, you like it, then you will put your heart to the work, and you can make yourself sucessful. secondly, the job can supply you to buy all kinds of things. lastly, the job must make you mentally happy.do you know how to live your life to the fullest? then , make your mind to do it. may you all become sucessfully...

I have no idea.I guess living your full potential and with the right altitute and surrounding yourself with the right altitute people.Personally i am not living with my fullest.Some said it matter of perspection, sometime if u know what u want and work towards it full confident then u are living your fullest.Regardless of the results as long u r happy joy and working towards it.

Living life to the fullest means enjoying what life can give you. But enjoying life basically have a price. So if you have a lot of money, then you can live life to the fullest. but if you are poor like me, try working hard first before living life to the fullest. Peace!!!

The two points you mentioned are certainly very important. To live our life to the fullest, we need to make sure first that we're not in any financial burden which often becomes the obstacle to our achievements. But these are just material things that are only a minor part of our life. We also need some mental achievements to live our life to the fullest. For me, it means happiness, satisfaction, dedication as well as commitment. Without these mental achievements, my life is boring even if I have a good job and a good salary.

I don't think that living life to the fullest has anything whatsoever to do with a good job and a good salary. For me, living life to the fullest means pinpointing the things that you are passionate about and doing at least one of those things every day. Living your life in that fashion will bring happiness that a good job and a good salary could never bring.

Great to rad what you feel. I too have a similar belief. People these days run around from pillar to post trying to make money build a house and stuff like that but on the other hand, they do not have time to be humans. They do have time even for themselves, forget having time for others. I feel that the person comes first and then these materialistic stuff.
For me, fulfilling my passions, sharing time with my wife, chasing my dreams (which do not involve money making) - reading, writing, gaining knowledge and sharing, spending some money for sponsoring education of some orphan child via a charity bring more happiness.
I do some work on the internet that is enough to support me and my family. I am also lucky to have a loving and supportive wife who takes care of me. I am ill and cannot move out of house for a regular work/job.

both of you are maybe have a good job. but you know, there are many people who can't support their lives. because they don't have a good job and salary. they work very hard and long hours but it just not paid the value...fulfilling one's passion is really great, but we must find the right person, do you think so?

But my point is that the kind of job that you have or how much money you make have nothing to do with living life to the fullest. When I speak of passions, I mean things that you are passionate about. For instance, I am passionate about reading, expressing my creativity through writing, and walking on the beach and giving back to my community. It really doesn't matter what kind of job I have or how much money all of those things cost me nothing but they make me feel fulfilled. When I speak of passion, I am not referring to a relationship of any kind, I am speaking about doing things that make you completely happy.

Hi wondeful523,
Living your life to the fullest is when you are true to yourself in every aspect of your life. You must enjoy everyday that you wake up and face a new day. Make good steps through out the day and waste not one minute trying to be like this person or that person, be who you are.
Do all the things that you are inspired to do without bring pain to anyone. Use the gifts that you have been given to bring happiness to others, which in turn will give you a sense of well being.
Having money is not living your life to the fullest. Money can, however help you achieve some of the desires of your heart. Material things are important to have and to be in a position to have them is is good.
Look for fulfillment from within and shoot for the level of happiness.

TO me its be happy. my family (im about to enter college) wants me to be an egineer and make big money and have an easy life which is not what i want. its not having a "good job" that defines a person as successful. I dont want an easy life i want to own my own small buisiness or be a detective. as for living to teh fullest. dont just take opportunities when they come. find opportunities as well. and if its an opportinuty that you really really want dont let anythign keep you from it. Its ok to be fearful of tring new things and taking leaps but teh fear is ok as long as you can look past it.
This summer i have been to Women in engineering conference. and internship at ford motor company and to china. I in the past have been to Obamas inaugeration.
For what you want to do in life if you want to be succesful it depends on how you define it. do you want yoru life to be easy making big money do you wan t it to be hard working? but oen of the biggest thigns i think is you have to take risks. the thigns you want wont always be safe. you have to take risks fill out teh application and go for it. THat doesnt mean however that you should dive in head first. See Think Decide Do

Oh and I dont know if you like country mucis but this is a song i think somes it up very well. "That's Something to be proud of" This is the chorus
"Tahts soemthing to be proud of, that's a life you can hang your hat on, Its a chin held high when the tears fall down gut sucked in chest stuck out, like a small town flag flyin or a new born baby crying in the arm of the woman that you love. thats something to be proud of."

You worked hard to make sure our families and loved ones are o.k. You renounce so much to make sure they have all the need. But what about you? You must fulfill one part of your dream. For example , if you wanted a degree, take a class, do whatever it takes to start your dream. You have ONE life, LIVE IT. Don't let life keep passing you by. You must recognize your life to mean something other than in the lives of someone else.

I think that living your life to the fullest means appreciating what you have in life. Some of the simple things in life we forgot such as our family, friends or job satisfy a person's life. Being healthy with your body, mind and soul will lead your life to a brighter path. I also believe that having a job that you are passionate for shapes the way you live. If you have a job that you're comfortable in and makes you happy, you will get more of what you want in life.
