I deeply feeling people trying to tell me, you only live once, and that moment pass, you might regret once you are getting older. Maybe they are right, I am too uptight, and there were places I never been to, and girls I was too afraid to talk to, or even ask them out. Why not left behind all the worries, and go for it just for once. Although it might embarrass me at the moment, at least I give it a try. Also, there were millions of place I only saw on television or internet, but I really admire some people do take a moment of their life to see those places, and snapshot those beautiful photos online. Maybe I should do some of those, and leave less regrets later on.

If you have dream for anything you need to pursue it through your determination, ability, want and faith to be achieve. Left behind your worry, be positive in every action you will make.. Me also having many questions but in a short of time realizing I can do it.....

You have to live your present and never think about the past.. I know it's difficult but since worries and regrets are the source of most problems, forgetting past can make you live your best!! But do visit all the beautiful places...

Yea that is a wise saying.Life is an experience live it by experiencing .You should do the things you want to do.Don't afraid.If you fail by doing it you can believe that you tried at least.Otherwise a regret will be there through out the life of being not missed it.So better enjoy the life.

It is like --- you can't save time, so you have to use it well. What do we mean by that? It means using your time or your life in activities that would be benificial for you not only at present, but as well in the future. What makes you happy and contented? If you think that going into different places will satisfy you, then why not give it a try? Forget about what people would say as long as you know that you are not doing wrong in the eyes of God or causing any harm to others.
Yes, God indeed created this earth perfectly for us.

I've already knew that. And i think i got the wrong impression of that. I've enjoyed it too much in a wrong way. But that was before, i never regretted it because if it wasn't for all those things that happened to me i am not what i am now. The good thing is that, i was able to experience those things in life and learned from them. What i want to do now is that enjoy life with good things.

I'm not really too bothered with YOLO...even though I'm young and I know that I'm going to get older and lose a lot of opportunities, right now as long as I do my best and don't actively try not to do things I'm not worried. I guess part of it is a lack of fear of my own mortality? I'm young now, but I'll die eventually, and that's ok.

a pleasant day kingparker,
with reference to your main topic, yes it is absolutely true. we only lived once. and after that, no more extras, no more extensions. hence, as the many people says, live your life to the fullest, so you will no regret at the end. as you will never know what is in-store for you after this day, that, despite of the plans we have, still, God has a better plan for us. In governing your own life, just live into the fullest but always do consider and ask God's guidance, so you may live according to what really God wants. Life is not just an enjoyment, hence, it is also a gift needs to be shared and treasured.
Have a nice day friend and may God guide you thru in your life.

We only live once so enjoy it and live it to the fullest.Life is so wonderful to explore and enjoy.There will times that we need to fail, suffer and been through to many difficulties but we can fight it and succeed.Life is a long journey that full of surprises and mysteries that we have to take.

Wise decision king! Let's get out of the box once in a while! Sometimes it is also good to be parted from our comfort zone! Go for it!

Im very siimilar to you and I hear this all the time. Im always stressing and worrying about money, and about this or that. I simple cant turn it off and go splurge and charge up my credit card. Im tryiing to get better, and taking this year for me. I am trying new things, and things Ive wanted to do. But Im not going overbored and being irrational about it. Ive been told many times Im wasting my time and money on courses, and college when I can be out having fun, and partying. Im 23 and missing out on everything, and when Im older Ill regret not going to the bar every weekend.
