How does one enjoy life to the full? by ayomifull(f): 12:26pm On Nov 16, 2009
Not really sure where to have this topic but pretty sure the moderator will do his job if this is a wrong place for it.

The question came to my mind recently during a period of brief depression and i've been trying to check out what and what enjoying good life is. Please guys lets talk about this how do one enjoy good life or what do you call living life to the full?

By following your heart. Make mistakes and learn from them. Don't live a life of regret by not taking chances

As a matter of fact I just thought about LeAnn Womacks song "I hope you dance" I will post the lyrics. That is how you enjoy life to the fullest.

When you have the choice to sit it out or dance, you dance.



Here are the lyrics to that song

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat
But always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances
But they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake
But it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart
Leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out
Reconsider
Give the heavens above
More than just a passing glance

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
(Time is a real and constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who)
I hope you dance
(Wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(Where those years have gone)

I hope you still feel small
When you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance

Time is a real and constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder where those years have gone
Tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder where those years have gone

Try new things
do something that scares you, even just once
Take time to laugh, love and be merry with friends/family
Take short trips or travel somewhere new
Don't fear. . .regrets/bad choice are allowed, just learn from them
Free the mind, the soul and enjoy cheesy

Do your best
Leave the rest.
Put a smile on people's face, and never backbite anyone else.

I LOVE THIS SONG. I ALWAYS LISTEN TO IT WHENEVER I FEEL LONELY, DEPRESSED AND SAD.

The thing about life is that . . . LIFE IS SO EASY . . .IT IS WE, HUMAN BEINGS THAT MAKE IT SOUND AND LOOK SO COMPLICATED!!

- Believe in God. Do your best and live the rest to him
- Do not sulk and hold unto to disapointments . . .It'll make u lose ur focus and derail you from achieving other things in life
- dont care what people say about you, know that you have nothing to lose and everything to gain, dont let peoples thoughts of how people should act stop you from doing something . . . you only live once!
- last and most importantly . . .love yourself and never view yourself as a failure.

I hope some or at leats one of these helps.

Love yourself & learn to be selfish sometimes

Appreciate the good things & the beauty of nature around you

Slow down

Don’t care about what people think or say about you; be yourself

Do the things you want to do

Live like today is your last & savour each day.

Don’t waste time on petty squabbles

Love & be loved in return

Create time for yourself


nice one there!

If unmarried- get a boyfriend/girlfriend, go partying, take holidays, make friends, buy all your money can afford.

If married enjoy the best you can with your hubby, take holiday alone at times, take with only your hubby at times, go with the whole family at times. Eat whatever you wish at any particular time, buy all you need that your money can afford.

Nice ^^^
Re: How does one enjoy life to the full? by olanajim(m): 2:18pm On Nov 23, 2009
One can enjoy life by doing what one love most as against going with the crowd. In everythings, we must ensure that we live the life that best suit us.

All these material acquisitions and marraige for the sake of marriage dont make people happy. Instead happiness come from within, when you do something that you know is in line with your personal creed, believe, creeds and conviction. Whe you stay away from toxic people no matter who they are and when you surround yourself with positive elements.

No matter what you do, you will be happy!

Hey hang in there and keep your chin up, this weather doesn't help too cos of the lack of Vitamin D needed to keep up our Serotonin, the happiness hormone, so try and get out as much as you can.


And if this will cheer you up, I ain't making this up to patronise you, but you have been one of the Nairalanders always in my heart, since I stumbled upon one of your posts where you tabled how you always meticulously keep your house clean with Military precision. Not a day goes by without me coming home and wondering if I have been burgled my crib is a sight for sore eyes embarassed and then start wishing I could be a proud homemaker like you smiley


And who can forget the generousity you show to those frequenting the travel section - offering your "you know what, to you know who, and to all and sundry" wink Keep your head up, God is your strength.
