Are you still trying to figure out your life? If so, you’re far from alone. We all go through life without really being absolutely sure of what we want to achieve, what we want to pursue and what we really want, but that’s okay. What’s not is that most people go through life having never really experienced what life has to offer.
It’s common for people to get into a routine and stay snuggly in their comfort zones, but are they actually living a life? Do you really want to live doing the same things day-in-day-out? Being trapped in the working world now, it’s easy to lose myself amidst climbing the corporate ladder. Sometimes, I feel that my soul is sold to the company and all I’m ever doing – is work. If you’re like me, it’s time to set aside time to rethink about life.
Here are some reminders to live your life to the fullest, just because life is short!
1. “Live every day as if it’s your last, embracing each experience as if it’s your first.” - Jennifer Fertado
Technically, if you live every day as if it’s your last, you’d be panicking right now I’m sure. Well, for me, living every day as if it’s my last would mean to not focus about thinking that I may die tomorrow. It’s about accepting the present and everything that is going on around you. Recognise that problems exist but they aren’t going to be permanent, you know it. Just take things with stride and welcome whatever that hits you. You know you are stronger than that and you know you can handle them.
2. “If you obey all the rules, you’ll miss all the fun.”- Katharine Hepburn
I used to be such a goody two shoes when I was younger. I’m always obeying teachers, studying diligently to obtain those As and I always held back whenever it comes to fun. Moving into my mid-twenties now, I’m beginning to realise that I’ve been missing out so much just because of my weird principles and rules I set for myself.
Well, I say, take a chance and live your life fully, do what you want to do, with no rules, no regrets. If you don’t, you’ll be wasting your life away. Create memories that would last a life time and write stories that you can one day share to the next generation. Most importantly, have fun! What’s life without fun and smiles?
3. “All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Life is a learning experience from the moment you are born. As time passes, you learn from each new thing you encounter, each new relationship you forge, and each new experience you make. Be bold, be daring. Make many experiments in your life because your life is a continuous learning journey. It does not matter whether each experiment is successful or not. What is important is that you keep experimenting. Well, Edison experimented over 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. You see, the more experiments you make, the closer you will be to your solution.
Create yourself and be gorgeous! XOXO, Roanna.
