to actually live it yourself and not through borrowed information and rules given from another human with his/her own concepts, most people don't live at all, they are slaves to something, so just live according to you. thats all you have to do.

A philosophy professor sat at his desk.
On the desk before him
sat a quart jar,
a box of golf balls
a box of gravel
a box of sand
and two glasses of water
As his students came in,
they took their seats,
gazing quizzically at his desk.
When the class began,
the professor rose
to place golf balls into the jar.
Upon filling the jar,
he asked, “Is the jar full?”
His students assured him,
“Yes, the jar was full.”
He poured the gravel into the jar
Shaking it
until all the spaces
between the balls was full.
“Is the jar full?” he asked.
With some hesitation,
the class concluded,
“Yes, the jar was full.”
He poured the sand into the jar
Shaking it
Until every little space
was filled .
“Now, is the jar full?”
The class laughed nervously.
“Yes,” they assured him,
“the jar was definitely full”
The professor poured the two glasses of water
into the jar.
“I want you realize,” he said.
“That the jar is your life
And the golf balls
are those big, important things
in your life.
Your family,
your health,
your children,
the passions of your life.
The gravel is your possessions
Your house,
your car,
your job.
The sand is everything else,
the small stuff
If you put the sand in first,
there will be no room
for the golf balls.
Take time to play
with your children.
Get a medical checkup.
Do those big important things.
There will always be time
to sweep the house,
or fix the disposal
Look after the golf balls.
Set your priorities.
All the rest is sand.”
One student raised a hand
“What does the water represent?”
The professor smiled and said,
“There is always time to have
a couple of drinks with a friend.”
‘Nuff said

Theres different levels of life too. I'd not recommend being drugged out for instance, because eventually its harmful and misleading.
But for me its having the career, love life, and everything in place and being content when i go to sleep every night.

you may invite what's major. i'd trust Dave B - people variety. also individual people variety about what's major at different ranges of their lives. i'm many times also prone to imagine it really is a sturdy element to shop in ideas you should die the following day... yet that you at the instantaneous are not useless yet. At any age this may help you to shop in ideas how major your question is. From a personal view i'd also say you may attempt now to not beat your self up in spite of if, in accordance to any particular criteria, you're below pleased with your self... yet that ought to possibly no longer note to you!

Living. I don't care if I'm rich and famous or begging on the street. As long as I've lived life to the fullest and done everything I can to make it the best it can be, my life has been lived and that's fine with me.

For me it is the matter if god will have mercy upon me.
But for humanity, god made human different, but at last himself is the final destination.

freedom...more people have died in the name of freedom than anything else. without it there is nothing. sadly we are losing more and more of our own.
