Hi there :-)
How do I know what its 'fullest' is? I don't and never will do..therefore, I cannot give you a 'yes' or 'no' answer!
My theory would be, that there is no such thing as 'fullest'. Linking to one of Enki's question..I don't believe there is a limit to your potential!
But, like anybody..I hope I have a lot more positive things to come of my life!
Thank You!

Even when I think I am not living to the fullest, I do. I often think, ‘I have not been able to do my best, I have not been able to live to the full, and that I could do better than this’. This best in performance, or the fullest in living, comes to our thinking with view to two things: the future, or comparisons we draw between other people around us and ourselves. But the fact is that we all try the best we can, even when we believe we don’t.
At the end of a football match, for instance, a team have to concede to the results of the match. Quite independent of winning or loosing, a team has to come to terms with the fact that this was the best they could do so far. And the thoughts of a better fight would never go away, as they are for the purpose of the future preparation for the similar encounters. At the end of each day I have to accept that this has been the fullest that I could have lived - each day that I live through reveals to me, in the end, what my best has been for the day, and so far.
I believe that we do all we could all the time; there is no second best, if there is then there must be a reason for that, and thus again the best. However, if my fullest is not as good as someone else’s, then my concept of the fullest, or the best, is also relative to the performance people around me. The thoughts like, ‘I could have done better, or I have not lived to the fullest’, are either entirely future orientated, or they are relative to an environment. There is no doubt we all try our best all the time, and a best may or may not be as good.

Yes, but there is always something new coming up, so I start working on that.. then just when I think am getting there, something worse than the first comes, so I guess living life to the fullest will never exist as we always create other needs or are faced by other challenges that knock life back. Its how one manages that constitutes to living life to the full, meaning its always fuller but fullest would be the end of it....

Be aware of this: no one does that all the time. You only truly appreciate life to its fullest when you're about to lose it or about to see it damaged in some way. The "carpe diem" does not work all the time. It's true we should do it,but it's impossible. You only value things when they're about to be lost. You have to accept it. We're human beings and this is one of our flaws.

well, no, not really. but it depends on the idea every person have of living your life to it's fullest.
i'm trying to change myself first as my idea of full life is when you feel comfortable about yourself and can do whatever you want no matter what others may say. and i'm too shy so i care a lot about other people's opinion about me. but i'm working on that and hopefully soon i'll be a changed person.

ABSOLUTLY!
Since you are alive and dont seem to have a choice, even if it is a bit like a roller-coaster sometimes.
You might as well raise your hands as you do in a rollercoaster and get the thrill of it and ride along, enjoy.

definitely! whatever life hands to me i deal with, both the good, the bad, and yeah, even the ugly.
i take everyday as an experience that will help me live my life towards the next day, and the next, and the next, so on and so forth.
i've had my share of **** and glories as well, so who could ask for more. i've enjoyed life so far and will continue to enjoy it. i seemed to have achieved my goals so far, and am continuing to achieve newer goals I have set for myself. if i get it, then well and good, if i fail then i will just have to work harder to get it the next time.

No. I'm feeling sorry for myself because of all the good and bad things that have happened. Still feeling depressed. I have no enthusiasm for life now. I dread my life now

Not really, it's too hot where I am, and I'm too lazy. I could be writing a book, or travelling the world instead of talking to you now couldn't I...but let's face it...we humans are basically a lazy species.
