If I picture “a complete and happy life“, there will be people, love, and personal success in it. This is it for most of the people, though the kind and extent of those things might vary. For someone, enough savings to live a safe retired life is a personal success whereas for someone else running a business that can survive for generations is a success. And I’m definitely not talking about that. I’m simply saying that living life maybe is simpler than we thought. So, this is my idea to live life to the fullest.

What’s to live life to the fullest?

This is what I had in my mind.

1. Travel

Don’t be cooped up in one place. Travel to different locations and enjoy the sceneries. You will be truly happy when you feed your mind with good things, give it something it can never forget. Fill your heart with beautiful things.

 

2. Eat various varieties of food

Filling your belly with good food is a way to fill your heart. As a kid, I’m not much of a foodie but growing up, I’ve come to appreciate the food lot more. It keeps my mind and body energized. And at present, I welcome new kinds of food more than ever.

3. Accept and work at your responsibilities

This time and generation is all about “no responsibilities, no commitments”. Somehow we have come to believe that having no responsibilities is freedom and that is what we want. But recently, I lost my grandparents and they are the people I’d seen with responsibilities all their life, 24*7. Sometime before, even I thought it must have been exhausting for them, but even in their last days, they were happy about all that. There was not even a sliver of regret, they are more satisfied with everything. That made me realize having responsibilities is not all bad. In fact, having no responsibilities/attachments is just as worse as having too many of ’em.

And they also taught me “what you sow, you reap.” They sowed love into raising this big family and they received so much love during their last days.

4. Choose to make memories

Memories live forever in your heart. Life is all about choices and priorities. When you are torn between making memories and something else, choose memories. It makes one’s life complete. At the end of the day, you won’t remember anything except the smiles you smiled, the hands you shook, and the hugs you had.

5. Show and receive love

Sadly, I’ve seen a lot of people that are so incapable of receiving and showing love. No matter how much love we show them, they are just ignorant. If you ask me, that is a big curse. Not able to see “LOVE”. Without love, what is even life?

In conclusion, what I want to say is, accept something as it actually is. See Love as love, concern as a concern, and help as a help. Don’t be mistaken LOVE as weakness, help as pity, and concern as bothersome.

That’s how one can live life to the fullest, without any regrets and without any guilt. Life is a never-ending book of wisdom, the more you want to learn the more you can. You can learn more ways to live your best life from here.

So, this is the picture of “a happy complete life” I have in my mind, would you agree with me? Or what’s your picture of living life to the fullest?

Let me know in the comments.

I’ll see you soon. Chao!

 

Lots of LOVE,

Nikki.
