To fearlessly express yourself to another who they are as a person to you. Really think about it. Why do we as humans fear expressing our truest selves and emotions to those whom we deem closest to us?????

Ah, the greatest accomplishment of life. This I have to think about. I think the greatest accomplishment of life is probably for a person to do everything they ever wanted to do in life, whether it be sky-diving or visiting every continent. If a person can die happy, that is a grand accomplishment.

A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings

Life's greatest accomplishment has been surviving all that has been thrown at it. Life has gone from being marginal at best to modifying the earth to allow it to flourish. A remarkable achievement in the face of how the universe constantly menaces the continuation of life on this planet.

I agree with the answer above about living life to the fullest; however, living life to the fullest may full fill dreams and passions, sometimes it's the little things that matter the most. There are things in life you should and must pursue under your own circumstances, but knowing yourself and knowing what you're capable of full filling in your own life is the greatest accomplishment to paving your own way to success.

Life's greatest accomplishment is not being afraid to live life. Love, laugh, dance, taste, etc. Life has a lot to offer and the worst thing you can say is "no" to trying anything new. EXPERIENCE IT. Don't just drum through it.

Dieing. The final and hardest accomplishment for some.

to add as much positive and encouraging ideas and behaviors to this sad old world. We all need it. so I try to smile at everyone because I know how many times just a smile made me feel better and it is so easy to give out and also to be very polite, even when someone steps in front of you etc, because I'm sure I've done it too.

Nothing. Every accomplishment is equally meaningless. Someday we will all be dead and nobody will remember anything.

To live your life in such a way that you are well regarded by all, young, adult, or aged.
