The world seems to be going so fast these days that I wonder if people are taking a chance to slow down and enjoy TODAY, no matter the hardships they may be facing. Please everybody, take a moment and think about it.

i see living life to the fullest as taking every oppurtunity you can have. i would love to say that i am. and i could easily lie and say i am. but when i think about it i am not. however i am content with my life as it is and as i am living it. ofcaosrse there are things that i wouldnt mind changing...but i have so many things i would never change. and if i were living life to the fullest, taking every opputunity given to me i would miss out on a lot that i already have. and i am happy with my life, living it to fullest wouldnt be in my best intereast.

Do you mean people now in the After-Life?
If so, who can say for sure? I can only tell you one little story from my own experience:
One day the husband of a friend died. Quite frankly he had been a person whose only desire was to enjoy life to the full.
Unfortunately he became very ill with kidney-failure when only middle-aged and was obliged to have dialysis, but was later given a transplant. Despite it all his last years were difficult, with many ups and downs, due to his inability to adapt and look after himself as he was supposed to do.
Finally he died, as was to be expected.
One morning soon after, his little neice , who was only two or three years old at the time, told her mother excitedly that she had seen "Grandfather" while she was asleep..(in a dream?)...And that he had said to her: "Tell Mummy I`m fine!"
So...What do you think of that?
Oh, sorry. I think I got you wrong.
Never mind. I hope you enjoyed the story.
The trick of living life to the full is saying "thanks" to "the Almighty" or the Angels, or whoever else you like, for what you have, for being alive, for the good times, for the jokes you`ve heard and really had a good laugh over, for your friends and/ or family, for everything nice that has happened to you, and...for just being alive. Happiness comes through being Positive. That`s what I believe, anyway.

I left the rat race of the city and moved to the country so I could do just that... It's one of the best decisions I have ever made..
Advice for anyone planning on making the move... Make a recording of the city noises so you can play it lowering the volume little by little ... I found sleeping was difficult until I had my parents send a tape so I could ween myself off the noises...

No I dont b/c there is someone in my life who is just weighing me down and I cant seem to loose them. I am not blaming him but yes I do not feel like I am living life to the fullest.

You know, lately I really feel I am. It's been really great. Even right now, having got of work, sitting in my pajamas and relaxing on here for a bit is really fun, because I'm enjoying the moment.

I definitely feel like I am now. I go on weekend trips once in a while, I am finally paying my bills on time. I have an awesome job, someone to love who loves me, and a wonderful 8 year old son. My life is a charmed one! How about you?

Am I? I am not sure... I have to deal with cancer right now... it's kind of hard trying to live life to the fullest when you have six doctors in your cell phone... I think money is the biggest issue... if money was no object, then I believe I could do it...

Trying too, but a lack of money is holding me back.
Don't get me wrong, I am REALLY LUCKY and am fully aware how much I have (wife, house, kid, friends etc) but if I have some exrea cash could 'pad out the essentials' a bit and do that bit more.
EG meals out, xbox 360 holidays etc.

I wouldn't say to the fullest, there are things I stil wish to do and I can't. But generally I'm happy with my life

I am, no doubt about it. I do what I want when I want (mostly). I don't do stupid stuff like running from cops and doing 100mph down a sidestreet though.
