I think that this is a healthy attitude to have in life. As long as you are still breathing, then there is time to live, time to right certain wrongs. Granted, you might not have as much time. However, thinking that its too late to do something, no if there is still life left in you, then there is still a chance that you might achieve something great, providing you put the effort in. When there is life, there may still be time. Don't you agree?

Life can be short, life can be long. I think that we should take everything we want while we can. We need to think and act positively. There are many mistakes we make in life, but that is life and learning from them. We are able to change things and while we are still alive we should do that as we never know when we will die and so we may not have the time to sort things out in the future as we may not have the time, best to not put things off for ages and to act on the things we know we would want to change. Doing this not only will make us feel better but also others.

I don't think that life will be what it without making mistakes. However we should learn from them. We should grow from them. We should get back into the game and get ready to do what we need to do accomplish the great things that we can be capable with in life. That in a nutshell is what life is all about. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

i agree, mistakes are just part of the learning process of life, but it is how we deal with these mistakes and situations that shows what type of a person we are. i would love to change things, instead of thinking about it and putting it off i should start to act on what i want to do, life can be short and we could miss out.

I absolutely agree with you. You still breathing, you still have time to correct the wrongs to right. So, don't be upset if you made mistakes, You still have time to make it right. Don't just give in yet. We all have to make some right decisions too.

Mistakes is part of the learning process. A process that I doubt ever ends until our life does. So if there is still time, there is still time to do something. Along with some time to learn. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Hi guys,
I whole heartedly agree with you both. I don't know for sure but in my opinion it seems a lot of people if not successful in an endeavor don't take responsibility for the failure but blame their failure on someone or something else. To me it seems they just give up. What do you think?

some things I want to do, I can always do it as long as I'm still alive
but probably not things that require physical stamina like rock climbing etc
there are so many things I want to do unfortunately some of these things can only happen if my debts are paid off
so I am working on paying off my debts then I can start with the list

Yeah there are times where age may get the better of us. Still we can still live life in other ways. It is slightly depressing to think that I could become like that one day or rather most likely will, where I won't be able to physically do some of the things that make life worth living. Until then, that just proves that I should make the most out of life. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

hello mm,
Positive thinking .
I agree with you,as long you put effort and determination,there is nothing late.
People think "it's too late" without even trying.
I admire people who never gave up about life and dreams.
I am always inspired by people who has the courage and will to do their best to achieve goals and dreams even if other people are despising them.(people who are negative thinker ugh...pain in the a$$)
I like those networking high earning people's tagline "never hang up with negative thinker,you will never get positive advise from them," perfect tagline ,and it's true.
Have a great day

That is the perfect tagline indeed. If you surround yourself with negative thinking, eventually it is going to corrupt your own thought process. Got to remain positive. There will be days where it might seem tough, but the journey is often greater then the actual result and often times more satisfying. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes, I completely agree-- I love this saying, since it is true. But people shouldn't wait that long to do something, since we never know when our life would be over. So, we should live life to the fullest, util we die , so we'd have no regrets.

Life is a funny thing as we never are completely sure how much time we have left. We could have years and years, or you can have mid hours. You never know when some disaster will strike. Any current events recently should show anyone who thinks greatly that life is something that really can end or be altered big time for a snap. Therefore, its time to do what you can do right now. Granted, nothing is ever going to be over, until your life ends completely, but you really do got to step forward and step up and do everything.
In the end, it does not end until the final moment. However sadly that final moment can come far sooner than we could ever think. That is why we got to cherish every single moment of life, while it is right there. You never do truly know when it is going to get ripped out from underneath you or it really gets turned upside down in a number of ways. That is really something that is true. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

I have to agree with that assesment. As long a person is still breathing they may still be able as you say "right certain wrongs" or take a different direction in what is left of their life to improve their situation.
Believe me when I say that as I have had, in the course of my life, to change course several times when the chips were down. Like you say it's never too late as long as you are still breathing and do not give up. Don't you think?

There are just too many times in life where people write off something as a lost cause, when there is still time to fix everything. Its really agitating when most times people defeat themselves right through their own negative attitude. Through the fact that since they don't want to face the issue, they decide to offer some other kind of scape goat. Some other thing right there, the fact is that they are just deluding themselves, to the point where they think that there is some kind of time scale. Until the final breath leaves the body, you can still really make good.
I feel as if a lot of people just tend to really give up, thinking that its too late. Its really not over until its over. There are going to be times where you got to really settle the issue and just because there are going to be a lot of times where it might seem like time is running out. However, rather than agonizing about it, just step forward and do it. Make things right. Trust me, if there is still time to consider how much time there is left or how little time is left, then there might still be time. Thanks for responding. Its appreciated. Have a nice day.

i agree with you, megamatt. life may provide us with many challenges but we should never give up. holding on to your passions and doing the best you can in every area of your life should be the mantra. yes, life is short and people are equipped with different strengths and abilities to cope or rise above all the challenges and trials. i've had and still continue to face many challenges but these are the same things that make me strong, learn, and prepare better. like they say, seize the day.

Indeed, it would not be life otherwise. It is not going to be easy. In fact, in many ways, life is the furthest thing from easy that one could imagine. Still we have to go out there and seize what life brings us. Otherwise, we will find that we do not get the most out of our lives. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

"No matter how your heart is grieving, if you keep on believing, the dreams that you wish will come true"
I definitely agree with you.Life is full of challenges.But we should not give up at once.All the problems that we encounter should be charge to experience and serve it as a challenge for you/us.We should make a way to fulfill our dreams.Never give up.Always look for the best.Never be afraid to try.As they say "try and try until you succeed.

Tomorrow is today's backup plan, that is a really excellent way of putting things into perspective. We need to keep it up, until we actually succeed. There is still a little bit of time, until the very end. Any life is precious, it should not be wasted. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

We should always be able to feel that it is never too late to achieve anything. only when our life is over should our dreams be given up. There is always a chance as long as we have air to breathe.

hello megamatt!
i could not agree with you more on this. Yes, as long as we have life in us, we should not give up on life, we still have chance to do something great and cause-worthy. It does not matter how old you are, as long as you have the determination to do something worthy and you put your best effort into it, you can still achieve something worthwhile. It is only the quitters who will say that there is no more time, that they're already on their twilight years, or that they're dying. But winners will do something about it, no matter how short the time left for them to do it.
Life is what we make it and we can make the most out of life, if we are bent on doing so. and we can only make it, if we do something about it, no matter where we are in the journey of our life, young but dying, old but still living. That's the most healthy attitude we could truly develop in everyone of us. To make the most out of our life, while we still have life and time in our hands.

We do need to make the best of whatever life we still might have. We might be able to fulfill that one last goal if we have time here. Even if we do not, at least we know that we have made the attempt. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

It is all within positive and negative thinking, so what you say is aboslutely correct. When you say there is no time left then you are thinking negatively. One much continue to try to succeed in life.
Great way to put it.

Thinking negatively has always been an attitude that just leads to self defeat. At least in my opinion. There are just too many things that we can do in life still. So we need to take and apply ourselves. In many ways, even if we fall short, we still have succeeded because we have taken the attempt. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

That final breath is truly the end. Until it comes we still have some time. We still may have many many days left or a couple. Still that is no reason to stop living. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Indeed, it does not matter how old you are. Until you take that final breath, there is still some life left to be lived. No matter how hopeless anything seems. Because once you've given that up, then you've truly stopped living. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.
