living life to the fullest!

A lot of weird things happened today that threw me into a stack of realizations not only changing the way I am looking at my life today but also what I would choose to do next.  It’s funny how you always remember things in theory but forget them to apply in practice. I’ve always felt this self-constructed pressure on myself for a range of things I choose to pursue and I don’t know why. I’ve always known to enjoy life every moment (in theory) and make the most of it without actually realizing that I might have missed a whole lot of sides to my life which I could have attempted successfully or unsuccessfully just for the sheer pleasure of pursuing them. As confusing as this previous line could be I myself am appalled by the fact that there are so many things I wish I would have done in the past but left it as I was afraid of failure. Not just in pursuing the new task but also fearing to not be able to live up to my own expectation of my previous work. Well, it is realistic to be careful, cautious and wise but sometimes it’s worth taking a risk. Sometimes you need to hit the arrow in the dark to see where it lands. Although I still strongly do believe in not leaving your life to chance but certain decisions, certainly not all, could be dealt differently. The true experience of anything is when you could see both the high and the low of it. Unfortunately it can’t always be that ways. How could one experience both success and failure at the same time for the same thing? Although it’s easier to imagine about feeling happy and sad at the same time and even for the same thing but could it be possible with everything else as well? Would that be called the true experience of the thing in the first place? Even though I do not have an answer for that I do know one thing for sure. My definition of living life to fullest is dynamic, constantly changing and warmly accommodating every new facet that life has to offer.
