Years are an optical illusion that obscure our lived experiences. ~ Efrat Cybulkiewicz

Life demands much. Give more. ~ Richelle E. Goodrich

In his way and in his day he was a very modern father. "I want you to see all kinds," he would say to her. "I want you to realize that this whole thing is just a grand adventure. A fine show. The trick is to play in it and look at it at the same time."
"What whole thing?"
"Living. All mixed up. The more kinds of people you see, and the more things you do, and the more things that happen to you, the richer you are. Even if they're not pleasant things. That's living.... ~ Edna Ferber

'It's okay. I understand that you're tempted and know you shouldn't grab the apple, and when you did you wanted to drop it. But I'm not good at resisting temptation. I'd rather eat the fucking thing, and enjoy it, even if I end up in hell.' ~ Barbara Elsborg

Do not let anyone define who you are, due to who they are not. ~ Jacent Mary Mpalyenkana

Guess what? "Someday" almost never comes around. It gets lost somewhere between the shouda, woulda, couldas of your life. Let go of whatever is holding you back and dare to live – boldly, bravely, and courageously - now. Remember, none of these elements mean you have to be fearless. It's absolutely okay to be afraid! Acknowledge that part of yourself and then push beyond that fear, whatever it may be. I'm not brave. . . . I'm just taking every opportunity to LIVE. ~ Kendra Thomas

Life is like a river, where one has to flow along with the present moments of love and understanding. Yet, we vigorously thrash about, trying to reach out and rest on the banks of desires and doubts, ultimately becoming a spent force, buried deep on the banks of past memories and future worries. - (Page 95) ~ Shashi

We grow up being told to do this and told to do that because it's the 'right' thing to do.

If we did something obscure, it'd be 'wrong'.

We have been taught to choose the respectable, socially acceptable path that everyone else walks down.

What if we were told to do what feels right and were not afraid to perceive the world in an authentic light.

We are told how to think and what to think, but not how to feel.

We don't always need logic, we need to feel. ~ Joshua Lynott

Commit to fitness and health. You only have one body and one life. Take responsibility of your health and live your best life. ~ Latorria Freeman

Struggle! To struggle is to live, and the fiercer the struggle the intenser the life. Then you will have lived; and a few hours of such life are worth years spent vegetating. ~ Pyotr Kropotkin

You live," I said, "Knowing you will die. Everyone lives every day knowing they could die at any moment. And yet they carry on. They lift their heads high and carry on and build a beautiful, amazing world. What for, if there is no point? Bravery. Courage. To live knowing death hangs over you. Sweet misery, fragile threads of life and existence, and you still fight for every moment, to be alive and to be as alive as possible."

"And the point?"

"The point, Jane, is for beauty. Simplistic, joyous beauty; complicated, twisted beauty-- the beauty of courage, the beauty of loss. For if there is a Something Else out there, it is surely hidden among the beauty of this world. ~ Isabella Rogge

A tree that is never shaking by the wind is a dead tree! ~ Lamine Pearlheart

Your sensuality is your passion and happiness. ~ Lebo Grand

Times like this were special. Memory builders. When something extraordinary happened to a person the
kind of things remembered forever after it didn't have to be a life-changing event like a graduation or
marriage or birth of a child. It more often was the small things. The sheer joy of summer sunlight on a
fragrant flower. The giggle of a toddler. The brush of a lover's fingertips. And the person marks the
moment with the flashing insight thinking ... This is special. I should remember this ~ Sandra Hill

Yes, it will all end one day; but today is worth living. ~ Innocent Mwatsikesimbe

Someday they would discover that the stars were not sacred, but made from the same material as their bodies. They would learn it was the stars that created their worlds, that worlds created their minds, that minds created tools, and tools could create stars. Growing, sprawling, thriving until they too became masters of their own understanding, chasing enlightenment with the fervor of having nothing to lose, launching from their homelands like fireworks with glorious yellow tails. ~ Jake Vander Ark

Work with whatever tool you may have at your disposal, and you shall find better tool as you go ahead. ~ Godwin Elendu Ph.D

God is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. He is intricately involved in our lives and for that alone, we should be thankful. ~ Robin Bertram

He created us for adventure, not ease. ~ Mary E. DeMuth

We can combat existential anguish – the unbearable lightness of our being – in a variety of ways. We can choose to work, play, destroy, or create. We can allow a variety of cultural factors or other people to define who we are, or we can create a self-definition. We decide what to monitor in the environment. We regulate how much attention we pay to nature, other people, or the self. We can watch and comment upon current cultural events and worldly happenings or withdraw and ignore the external world. We can drink alcohol, dabble with recreational drugs, play videogames, or watch television, films, and sporting events. We can travel, go on nature walks, camp, fish, and hunt, climb mountains, or take whitewater-rafting trips. We can build, paint, sing, create music, write poetry, or read and write books. We can cook, barbeque, eat fine cuisine at restaurants or go on fasts. We can attend church services, worship and pray, or chose to embrace agnosticism or atheism. We can belong to charitable organizations or political parties. We can actively or passively support or oppose social and ecological causes. We can share time with family, friends, co-workers, and acquaintances or live alone and eschew social intermixing. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster

Opportunities will come and go, but if you do nothing about them, so will you. ~ Richie Norton

Once you stand in your own authenticity, you release the flow of sensuality that frees you to be who you were meant to be. ~ Lebo Grand

Don't you ever get the feeling that all your life is going by and you're not taking advantage of it? Do you realize you've lived nearly half the time you have to live already? ~ Ernest Hemingway,

Walking was a habit he'd been unwilling to give up. He couldn't see the point in shutting himself up in a vehivle any more often than he had to, doing damage to the earth and the air in order to avoid using his body.
People did just that all the time, though. Most claimed they needed to save time. It was true they had little enough of that-- their lives were so soon ended. But Nathan didn't see them treating time as precious otherwise. They'd sit in their cars at a fast-food place for fifteen minutes when it would be quicker to park and go inside.
No, he blamed the modern culture of urgency. Only the most urgent sensations, emotions, and situations were considered important. They called it living life to the fullest. Not surprisingly, many sought numbness in alcohol or the pervasive voyeurism of reality TV while others tried to live a perpetual peak experience through drugs, sex, or celebrity. Ordinary lives, ordinary living had little value.
Nathan thought people needed to wash dishes by hand sometimes. Prepare their own meals more often. And take walks. ~ Eileen Wilks

Gavin's Law: Live to start. Start to live. ~ Richie Norton

No person that has ever felt the benefits of being present can consider himself a victim, or unhappy in any way. ~ Lidiya K.

A calm mind is the most lethal machete to chop the miseries of our life. ~ Bhuwan Thapaliya

Doing what's right, last for life,
Doing what's wrong, only last for so long. ~ Pontius Joseph

Whether I was a genius or not did not so much concern me as the fact that I simply did not want a part of anything. The animal-drive and energy of my fellow man amazed me: that a man could change tires all day long or drive an ice cream truck or run for Congress or cut into a man's guts in surgery or murder, this was all beyond me. I did not want to begin. I still don't. Any day I that I could cheat away from this system of living seemed a good victory for me. ~ Charles Bukowski

...today, I'm writing about the extraordinary; those 'moments' in life that reach us, and change us. Those moments take place all the time, really – it's just that we're taught not to notice. We're taught that whims are for the foolish; that instinct and passion are more akin to fairy tales than reality; that they won't get us very far, and everyone would laugh at us if they knew what we really held close to our hearts.

It's a lie we allow ourselves, and it's understandable.

But it's simply not true. ~ Dianna Hardy

You must be a starter and a finisher, the slogan "press on" has solved a lot of problem. ~ Godwin Elendu Ph.D

Some people never take a chance and never know what it's like to live life to the full. ~ Chloe Thurlow

Life is never a complacent thing. It's more like a verb. You're not just alive; you have to consciously fuel every moment with life, regardless of whether or not your reality lines up with your ideals. Your life is not what your ideals are. Your life is what you actually have when you wake up in the morning and when you go to sleep at night. So what are you gonna do with that? ~ C. JoyBell C.

...we're not eighteen anymore. We've lived. We've created things that last – things of joy, and things of burden. ~ Dianna Hardy

I want something new. I want something I've never seen or heard or imagined. I want a spark. I want to be ignited. I want my flesh scorched and imagination set ablaze. ~ Michael Soll

I have had the privilege of knowing my self for almost 40 years. That's a lot of stories and tales to tell, but I'll spare you those details.

If there's one thing I've learned, It is that finding the person within oneself requires a very subtle alchemy. ~ Efrat Cybulkiewicz

Start now, do not wait for things to be perfect ~ Eder Holguin

Life without challenge
is life denied any chance
for one to achieve. ~ J. Benson

I want my life to be about LIVING, not leaving
which is why I'm LEAVING nothing behind. ~ Shelley K. Wall

See, my aim is not to survive but to be thrown to the wolfs with adrenaline still pumping in my veins and hear the gods laughing saying "that was one hell of a youth" and everything I do I do in order to push my senses and levels of natural ecstasy. I want to be so awake that I pass out by exhaustion every night with a smile on my face and no thoughts of tomorrow because today was all I ever could make of it and I am sick and tired of boredom. Bored people slumbering boring words about bored habits and I want to get out. ~ Charlotte Eriksson

My ambition was to be cosmopolitan. I grew up in the suburbs. I went to college in Maine. I had a dream in my head that if you wanted to be the most urbane, living-life-to-the-fullest kind of person, Paris was the place to be. ~ Rosecrans Baldwin

Move through life as if every one of your actions will echo forever. ~ Alpha Four

I think the key to happiness is maximizing each day. So if you're unhappy, here's a simple prescription: Live harder. ~ Laird Hamilton

Better to sink with tempests raging o'er
Masts all dismantled and hull gaping wide
Than rest and rot on some unclouded shore
The idle plaything of the listless tide.

Better the grime of battle on the brow,
With grim defeat to crush thy dying hand
Than through long years of peace to tyrant bow
Or dwell captive in a strangers land.

Better the castle with beleaguered gate,
By battle's lightning shivered in a day
Than peaceful walls in pomp of sullen state,
Through centuries sinking to a dull decay.

Better resolve to win thy heart's desire,
And striving bravely, die in the endeavor
Than have the embers of some smothered fire
Lie smouldering in thy saddened soul forever. ~ Sam Davis

Cancer taught me to stop saving things for a special occasion. Every day is special. You don't have to get cancer to start living life to the fullest. My post-cancer philosophy? No wasted time. No ugly clothes. No boring movies. ~ Regina Brett

Don't ever live vicariously. This is your life. Live. ~ Lavinia Spalding

I am convinced--truly convinced-- that 99% of living is useless. The only--and I mean the ONLY--part of life that is worth anything, is the part where we love a few people in our lives, and to what degree we are able to love them, how much we are able to give, how much of our hearts we are able to put into it. Time moves fast forward; meanwhile, we spend that time on making money, chasing dreams, building names for ourselves, achieving stuff that we want to achieve...time moves fast forward and instead of standing in moments with a few people that we love, we run fast forward with it! We forget how to love a few people given to us to love, we forget how to stay, we forget how to feel, we forget, we forget, we forget, so we can run towards death, leaving behind a house perhaps; kids perhaps; a bank account hopefully; a name worth remembering maybe. But did we love? Did you love? Did you stay? Did you love with all of your heart? Did you? Will you? ~ C. JoyBell C.

Sylvia possessed a deeply conditioned respect for authority. She wanted desperately to live up to the expectations of a society that viewed her as a bright, charming, enormously talented disciple of bourgeois conformity. On the other hand, she ached to experience life in all its grim and beautiful complexity. The poetic eye was always at work examining the nuance and measuring obscure detail, turning conversation into ultimatum (Steiner) ~ Elizabeth Winder

Welcome the small cracking of your hard-clodded shell,
Embrace the warm sting of tears,
Kiss the shadow which frightens you awake as you turn the corners of your day,
Love the whole of everything,
Smooth sunshine skies and
Jagged edges
Which all seek us out in
Constant whisper and touch
To say, 'hello, Beautiful. You're alive ~ Jacob Nordby

I often wonder if I have fulfilled my purpose. I believe the key to living life to the fullest is to always be recognizing opportunities and following your own path. To enjoy every minute, whether it's writing a novel, giving a speech, or petting the kitties, it's your life. ~ David Mezzapelle

It is obvious that most people are not living the life they want to live! The easiest solution for this problem is to give up the life you want to live. And the hardest solution is this: Give up everything which prevents you to live the life you want to live! ~ Mehmet Murat Ildan

We all can't paint like Van Gogh. We might not be the ones who found cure for cancer or invented flying shoes but it doesn't mean we can't own a spot in the sands of time. ~ Nesta Jojoe Erskine

THE SILENT PEOPLE

Some people are so rude,
Living their lives with no concern for others,
Or possibly just intent on pissing other people off-
Annoying everyone around them.

The silent people-
Want to kill them-
And drive forks into their skulls-
Create weapons of extreme torture-
And scream from the top of their lungs-
"SHUT UP."

But words are not spoken-
And attention is not given.
Though annoyance is apparent,
The annoying keep on living. ~ Giorge Leedy

Live life like a rhyme, one line at a time. ~ Eric DeSio

You're not just getting old, you're getting closer to your death; and you don't want to miss anything. ~ J. Limbu

Opportunity is another word for moving on. And it is a word choice, which is often the wiser. If the well gets poisoned, move to a meadow of merriment, where your hearts will echo the more. ~ Tom Althouse

I am not worried about dying, what I am worried about is not living ~ Saji Ijiyemi

We think that we are afraid of the things we might fail at. But that's not true. Look at the heart of your fears: you're afraid of your brilliant Light. You're afraid of the possibility of never falling. What if you outshine the Sun? What if you stand atop these mountains? We are afraid of the heights that our spirits know, belong to us. You're afraid of being more, of being much. That is what you are really afraid of. ~ C. JoyBell C.

Living life to the fullest involves living it with your family. ~ Loung Ung

I want to live like there's no tomorrow. Love like I'm on borrowed time. It's good to be alive. ~ Jason Gray

I strongly believe that the best partnerships aren't necessarily dependent on a mere common goal or religious belief but on a shared path to ecstasy. ~ Lebo Grand

Not much changes if sleep is where you live out your dreams. Start living your dreams out in the day and sleep becomes a time of rest from living rather than an escape from life. ~ Alpha Four

Smile and nod, always wins the argument. ~ Pontius Joseph

For me, it's too late,
Don't suffer my fate.
I once walked the earth
Inert to life's worth.
Routine, my shield,
I loathed foreign field.
Too late did I wake up
To drink from life's cup.
Be bold in life,
Do not shun strife.
Soon you will be here
And lost, all you hold dear. ~ Alpha Four

There was no way possible that I was going to have a life and not live it. ~ JohnA Passaro

...No– but ours is a journey into ourselves, a walk with God every day! Ours is a book that we write, a smile, a love, a tear, a lust, an awakening, a learning, a joy, a laughter, a memory, a dream, a vision, a love, a love, a love and a love. Our life is now. And Heaven is always there, but this life isn't always there, but this life isn't always here. Heaven is always there for us but this life is a gift to us! ~ C. JoyBell C.

The voice of grief is rather convincing, isn't it? It tells you you're "too old," "not good enough," or "not worthy enough" for another chance at life, that starting over is impossible. This voice in your head is the first thing you hear in the morning and the last thing you hear at night. It drives with you to work. It stays with you at lunch. Its message is so consistent that because of its repetitive power, you may be inclined to believe it. But, as persuasive as the voice of grief is, everything it says is a lie.
It's all a pack of lies.
Do you want the truth? If you do, then start listening to life calling to you inside your grief.
How? Every time you are yearning to be held and loved, to laugh again, listen to your yearning. Do not listen to your fear . . . Listen to life calling you, "I am here, come on over. Take a chance on me. I am your life, and you're all that I've got. ~ Christina Rasmussen

When you don't cultivate your own sensuality, you won't have much to offer in your relationship(s) especially in the long-run. ~ Lebo Grand

If you start the day reading the obituaries, you live your day a little differently. ~ David Levithan

When the time comes for you to leave this earth, if it doesn't become a lesser place with your absence, then you have wasted your life. ~ Shaun Hick

The most essential step in marketing your services is selecting an occupation you can throw yourself into wholeheartedly. ~ Godwin Elendu Ph.D

Living in happiness means practicing the dance of "detachment-attachment". On a daily basis, we must sense which moments, which events, which people, thoughts and circumstances to detach ourselves from; and which ones to attach ourselves to. Learning this dance, and doing it well, leads to happiness. ~ C. JoyBell C.

Life can only be understood looking backward. It must be lived forward. ~ Eric Roth

To become a writer a person must read constantly, the more varied the writers and their material then all the better.

Yet most importantly a writer needs the determination to keep at their writing regardless of what others might say or think about it ~ Andrew James Pritchard

One has to abandon altogether the search for security, and reach out to the risk of living with both arms. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. ~ Morris L. West
