Do you feel like you are really living your life?

I'm middle age now and look back

at many things I could have done differently.

If only we had the hindsight that comes with

growing older...but we don't.

So much is chance or fate,

being in the right place at the right time.

Aspects of our youth we can plan, but our

emotions, egos, the interplay of others

alter our course.

I missed many opportunities, being a shy, introvert.

I also suffered from a low self esteem complex.

I look back and see how others were reaching out

to me, stepping way over the "half way" mark, but

I was too blind to see.

No easy answer here, Ruby.

Never wait. Life is too short. Watch what other people do and then do the opposite. Take the road less travelled. When I was young I wanted to explore the American West more than breathe. So I left the Appalachian hills I was born in and went where my heart led. I spent 2 decades hiking all over the West. In my 40s I stumbled onto my next passion.(travelling around the world) One hundred fifty countries later I found the right spot to settle down, am Island paradise where there is mostly jungle sand and the ocean. My people back home are still waiting for me to return. Their stinging comments are still ringing in my ears ("you'll be back with your tail between your legs") They probably think I got "killt"...never wait and never fear...be the person that made it..

I'm 17 and I always dreamt of being a footballer and worked hard for it, never got anywhere so i guess i have to work for a living instead now, life isn't life unless you do something you enjoy doing.

Not really but I do hope after all the major setbacks in the past two years things will be better in 2013!

yes, I am living my life to the fullest

I however measure in terms of love, friendship and the service I do for others

Even if life gets boring, we are still living it, its because we get used to the same routine.

I think, Lived. Now, Memorizing IT.

ask yourself what are you waiting for really? and why?

conditioning yourself for your desires to be fulfilled is the trick of the devil.

you are really alive now, this is it.

I ask myself that everyday

I guess I must be. I don't know who else would be involved.
