Are you living your life to the fullest without regrets? If you were to die right now would you be happy? Serioucly, consider this. Most people don't stop to think about such significant things, because they are caught up and busy in life with other meaningless things. But somethign we fail to recognize what really matters. What adds meaning to your life?

nice folk, who do random acts of kindness,,,,,,
Danielle P. Sep 29, 2007, 9:25am EDT
My kids are healthy and pretty happy. That 's all that matters. I try to look at the joy on the small stuff and be happy. If God wants me now then I gotta go. LOL The rest doesn't matter.
Christopher K. Sep 29, 2007, 9:27am EDT
My Daughter #1 all the way

People. People I love, People I hate, Random strangers that make or break my day.

My family, definitely is the most important thing in my life.

Meaning in my life means making other people happy in the only ways I know how. I try to be a good friend, I tried to always be working on a creative project whether it's a role in a play, a piece of music, or a painting, and try to appreciate beauty.
Felix R. Sep 29, 2007, 9:48am EDT
In a word: L-O-V-E

Now, specifically to your' questions:

I have no regrets.

I would prefer not to die right now because there are still a few people that still rely on me emotionally.

What adds meaning to my life is the ability to love and be loved. Love is the strongest force in the universe...love conquers all.
Lisa Frost Sep 29, 2007, 10:12am EDT
I am in agreement with Felix. I am so lucky that I have an extended family of dear friends. That makes the majority of my life wonderful. I would still want to find my partner, or if I truly have met him, would hope he could finally open all of those locks he put on his heart.
Pepsie J. Sep 29, 2007, 10:17am EDT
Family,family, family... always give kindness never ever begrudge.

We are all God's children although some of us are

poop-heads!
Felix R. Sep 29, 2007, 10:18am EDT
Lisa, I wish you love.

I'm with Nan, I gotta go get the coffee on right now!
Craig S. Sep 29, 2007, 10:40am EDT
My family. You could be the richest person in the world but it would be pretty useless if you didn't have somone to share it with. I agree that people get caught up with things and don't look at the bigger picture. Like I don't want to get stuck in 1 job and wake up in 50 years and be the same I was 50 years ago just older! that would suck big time! you have to go after what you believe in. Although do it reasonably! :).
Susy R. Sep 29, 2007, 10:59am EDT
You know I think about this often. Alot of people think or get upset where they are in life at this moment because they think they should be somewhere different or they thought they would have more by now etc etc.. Happiness is a choice and where you are in your life at this moment is where you are supposed to be at this moment. I try to live my life to the fullest everyday. I try to stay positive, and If I were to die right now I would be fine. Because the most important thing to me in my life is the love of my family.And I have gotten to see alot of places and live in alot of places than alot of people do at my age. Ive met some very interesting people and so on. Alot of people my age think or get upset that they dont have a house yet or arent making alot of money, havnt traveled all over and such. But what it really comes down to and what really all matters in the end is family!! They are always there for you. So be happy right now, There isnt anybody lse that can give you true happiness. Thats up to you!

NIce piece of wisdom susy ...YOU have learned a well earned lesson at an early age...

Waking up on top of the earth each day is important and it feels good. I need a bit of chocolate and a kind word now and again. It's all good.
Haim Kadman Sep 29, 2007, 11:54am EDT
Do you know anyone who lives his life to the fullest? I don't.
Denise B. Sep 29, 2007, 12:24pm EDT
my family makes me happy and fulfilled, my only regrest in dying now would be that I was not around to raise my kids myself, no one could love them like I do.
Karl Leuba Sep 29, 2007, 12:28pm EDT
Giving some affection or help to someone who will pass it on to another, and knowing it happened.

"Live free or die".

And to live with integrity.
Debra N. Sep 29, 2007, 1:26pm EDT
I am a person who savors every moment of living. I am amazed by nature, and take great delight in just watching a squirrel gather nuts or listening to a bird singing in a tree.
CyberGwen ! Sep 29, 2007, 2:09pm EDT
I always take the time to stop and smell the roses:)
Jo C. Sep 29, 2007, 2:15pm EDT
Caring for an aging parent has made me realize that NOTHING matters as much as living in the moment and truly being present for those we love. I put my savings on automatic pilot for the most part so I can be there for my family and friends. I live my life as I want, take time to savor the beauty and miracle of being allive!
Mary M. Sep 29, 2007, 3:01pm EDT
My family is top priority. I try to live each day to the fullest. If I died tomorrow I think I would be satisfied with what I have accomplished.
Steph-in-NE ..... Sep 29, 2007, 3:18pm EDT
I am happy and that is all that counts....
my family realy matters,,
Phyllis R. Sep 29, 2007, 4:03pm EDT
I believe everyone has some regerets, if they have lived at all, but what really matters to me....my husband, family and Jesus Christ, which w/o Him, there would be no life.
j - Frugal Mom - r. Sep 29, 2007, 4:42pm EDT
My family and my friends....they matter, and yes I am happy! I am a stay-at-home mom by choice, because I have tried to have a busy life and forget about the little things.

No regrets. I do live my life to the fullest I can at the time and savor the moments. Above all, true to myself and following my bliss. I have children who depend on me, that would be my only sorrow about dying now - how it would affect them.

That's easy - I am not totally fulfilled but happy with my life. I have a wonderful hubby, a nice house, a funny and very intelligent son and a garden filled with tomatoes. I see deer and bears and all kinds of wildlife in my own backyard and live close enough to orchards, farms and lakes. I see something beautiful everyday. I've worked, I've livedin big cities and have travelled quite a bit. I've seen so many great things in my life and intend to see as much as I can before I die. So, I'd say I'm happy.
