How To Start Living Life To The Fullest

By Freida Michael


It helps to develop certain qualities if you are wanting to experience the best life has to offer. If you want to know how to start living life to the fullest, one of these important qualities is honesty. Someone who is being dishonest about him or herself always has to maintain a facade. This constantly drains energy and results in unhappiness. It is far better to be completely honest about yourself and what you want with yourself and others.

Self acceptance is another key. Accepting yourself exactly as you are, letting go of the past and not worrying about the future, opens you up to experience the present. This helps you to savor each moment as it arises. Never be so stuck in memories of the past or plans for the future, that the little present moments slip away unnoticed.

Remaining flexible is another important quality to embrace. There will always be change. Resist it and you will be constantly struggling. Embrace it and suddenly the battle becomes a challenge instead. You are able to get out of your comfort zones and your life will become deeper, richer and more meaningful as you face challenges and overcome them. This can be done in gradual small steps rather than a huge leap.

It is often the simple pleasures in life that enrich it immeasurably. Take long walks, read good books, spend time with loved ones and get rid of other complications that steal your time. Perhaps you could choose to turn down some overtime work in favor of taking your children to the aquarium or get rid of some of the clutter in your home so as to really enjoy what remained.

When you decide what you really want and set your goals clearly, you are closer to finding the kind of life you really want. Goals should never be set around what others expect of you or they are destined to disappoint. Set realistic goals that are just beyond your reach at present and you are more likely not to disappoint yourself. Start small and your self-worth will grow as you accomplish each new goal.

Illness is something all of us experience at one time or other in our lives. However, we need to do what we can to prevent the illnesses that come from not taking care of ourselves properly. Overindulging, playing too hard and even working too hard can all have disastrous effects on our health. We need to eat well, exercise and sleep enough. This allows our bodies to be the best they can be so we can take full advantage of what life has to offer.

When we choose to live selfishly, we deny ourselves the joy that comes from sharing our lives with those who matter to us. This sharing can bring the greatest sense of fulfillment. Let loved ones in, give them your attention and time, be unselfish and you will experience the rich reward.

We all have to face the future and none of us are sure of what it holds. The best we can do is face it with courage and relish each small, precious moment of our lives. In sharing them with those we love, our lives become significant, full of depth and meaningfulness.
