What living a full life means to me. What things, people, ideas and stuff do I need to have in my life to live a full, complete fully awake, aware and engaged life? What ideas, people, stuff have you have let get in the way of this life.
In general Human behavior is difficult to be satisfied in any living condition we might be, we always want more even if we reach our goals. Whether someone is rich or poor living life to the fullest is never ending until we get really old. I haven’t yet experienced all what life has to offer yet. To feel I have lived life to the fullest, complete, aware, and accomplished everything I dreamed of, I want to see myself finish my education and graduate, have some family of my own a loving husband and kids, a career and a house. I have to communicate and get together with my family and friends most of the time to express my emotions and well being.
I believe for me the first thing that comes to mind is my family, friends and my love life. I consider these as very important to my life other than the second important aspect of my “own” career, education, success and wealth. I am ambitious person who like to succeed in whatever I do, whether it is my job or improving my education and accomplish my goals. . Everything I want to do I might be able to do but without Love and support from my family, spouse and friends I don’t think I can have a full, awake, engaged life.
I am a simple easy going person and I am happy with basic necessary things instead of complicated extravaganza materials. Sometimes I have to please my spouse or friends so once in a while I upgrade or get new cool electronic stuff, shoes or clothing. It makes me feel good if I only can afford it I can buy it if not I do not buy using credit cards. That was a big mistake I made when I got my first credit cards and used to spend it on shopping mostly clothing and household items. It was a lesson I learned and not to repeat that again I had change my way of living to only purchase with cash or debit card or if I use a store card I will pay it off soon.
I admire every work of art Mother Nature has to offer and enjoy the outdoors doing different types of activities. It is nice when I go out with my family friends or spouse to play, walk or to relax and do a cookout get together. It is important to share a meal with loved ones, I love to cook and share a meal with family, friends and food brings everyone together. When I get busy with school and work, it gets in a way of friends and family time. I feel guilty when I say I could not meet them for coffee or lunch. I tried to manage my time, so I can spend some time with my spouse, family and friends.
