Never having regrets, living life and loving it. Sharing and caring with others.

Living life to the fullest isn't a matter of experiencing certain things, it's a question of taking time to appreciate how amazing it is to actually be alive in the Material World. You can sense that just as deeply from looking at rust spots on a lamp post as you can watching the sunset from a mountaintop.
To be certain of having that feeling, just learn to take time to realize how much is really going on all around you (and then there's so much more that you can't even perceive). There's so much in the unfolding of time, and to experience yourself as part of it is to live life to the full.

Personally, I think 'living life to the full' is something idealists aspire to.
Life is just life, we are all surviving the best we can and hopefully enjoying ourselves along the way. It is certainly not 'ideal' and will always throw a wet towel on our red-hot ideas.
Another problem with the idea of 'living life to the full' is that you end up chasing rainbows - and as we all know, rainbows have no attainable structure on which to lay our grasp. Thus we are chasing fragments of beauty, rather than just sitting back and enjoying the view.
Don't try to ride the rainbow, just appreciate it for what it is. A thing of beauty. Your life is a thing of beauty, just take each day as it comes and be happy if you can succeed without harming anyone along the way, and being proud of the way that you treat yourself and others. Love sincerely and receive love.
It's all we can strive for.

Well now, I've offered friendship to people who couldn't handle it (yes, I know) and have made myself look like a right maggot into the bargain, but you know what? I don't care. I've offered, it wasn't taken up, not my problem. But I don't regret offering friendship.
On the reverse side of the coin, I became friendly with someone who is a home-wrecker, head-wrecker, and basically Bad News, and I am trying to ditch this person ... that sounds so harsh, I'm trying to end the friendship, but at the same time, I wish this person well.
I think that living life to the full means making the most of opportunities that come your way. Within reason, of course.

I think taking advantage of the good opportunities life has to offer and accomplishing goals that serve a good purpose has a lot to do with this. Having achieved as much as possible, in my opinion is living life to the full. Most importantly, having no regrets and enjoying life as it is. Living a life with a purpose gives fulfillment. :).

If you wish to live life to the fullest, the best way to do so is to GIVE. If you empty of yourself, your life shall be full. This is true in all things. If you give nothing of your material possessions, you shall be dry spiritually and therefore have a life that is very much meaningless.

Balance. Trying to find passions in all area of your life.
If you give your life up to just one obssesive goal, it can be fulfulling but maddening.
Having goals is part of that balance.
We are physical, social, spiritual, sexual, curious, intelligent beings. If you can fill these parts of yourself in any or a combination of activities I think one is living to the full.
When everyday I can't wait to get up in the morning because of these things I want to pursue, I'll know I'm living that life.
Peace.

Spend more time doing what you love than doing things you don't like or hate. A life of drudgery is just existence, not life. Live with passion!

It means to be daring, like the first time you went to an ammusment park, did you go on the biggest ride? if so then you have lived that day to its fullest, if you have not, you have wasted the chance. It also means doing something you enjoy, i do not see why people complain about having rubbish jobs if they do not like it, if they don't want to work then stop, if they complain about money then they WANT to work so they SHOULD BE happy...
