Live Life to the Fullest

Live life to the fullest...

that's a saying/phrase/advice people give to another... i've always told people they should enjoy everyday of their life... i've also told myself to live up to what i believe. I did live up to what i believe until i got caught up, once again, in the daily routine of school, eat, sleep.... Truthfully i haven't spent each day with life, with power and with ambition.

Fortunately, i was woken up by a conversation about having a simple life.. what does it really mean?? haha i thought about it... and here's what came up to my mind...

A simple life doesn't mean a life without problems and it doesn't mean to run away from the conflicts in life.

A simple life isn't a dull life... what's a "dull" life? Not living up the dreams, not following ambitions, not pursuing something that you like. A dull life is just waiting for things to happen, thinking that I can just sit around doing nothing and hoping that something exciting will happen. Sometimes, something exciting does come along and shakes you, but you'll need to take initiative and courage to lead you into something exciting.... a person indulge in a dull life wouldn't take that initiative nor face their fears...

A simple life is turning every moment of your life into something you can smile in the future, something you can be proud of, something you can hold on dearly and never forget...

I'm laughing right now because I know i've been striving to living to life to its fullest potential, making everything an opportunity of happiness, of growth and of joy. I'm happy, i'm joyful and once again, i'm loving every moment God has granted me life.

Life is precious, life is fragile. Hold on to it dearly, and it will be meaningful, it will be fascinating and it will turn you upside down...

Ready?

you had not been in your best shape janine, but praise God you are better now!! It's great to hear you wish to make the best out of every moment of life. Paul also said we should continuously press on towards the great goal. I hope your faith will never die out and grow stronger each and every single day.

in the mist of your busy life, may you find peace and rest in God's tendering arms. Always leave room for God and allow Him to carry out His work in you!!
