My Philosophy of Life - Live Your Life to the Fullest

Our life time is limited. We should never waste it living someone else’s life. My philosophy of life has always been to live life to the fullest. That means for whatever job I do, I will give my 100% commitment to accomplish the tasks. This gives me self-satisfaction for giving my best to complete them, no matter how good or bad the outcome turns out to be.

I always try to remind myself not to let the noise of others’ to influence my inner thoughts. As Steve Job said “Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary”. I have so much interest in achieving a lot in this life. I always want to follow my interests and doing what made me feel good. The problems start when we listen too much to outside sources. We may think that we’re doing it wrong. I went through one of these periods myself. Looking back, I see that while it was a period of struggle, it also helped me go deeper into what worked for me.

Positive thinking helps us to be healthier, more productive and ultimately happier. Yet for most of us it is hard to practice optimism on a regular basis. Optimistic thinkers tend to anticipate the best outcome from every situation they face. I try my best to be optimistic and think positively each and every day. No matter what challenges come on my way, I try to look at the bright side since positivity is not only in our head, but it also boosts our physical and mental health.

Give what you can. This is another phrase that I include in my philosophy of living life to the fullest. We do not have to be filthy rich to be able to contribute to others. A simple gesture and manner of giving to those in need is a good practice that must be a way of life. Being kind and generous leads us to perceive others more positively. I have experienced attaining more happiness when giving to those in need rather than keeping it to myself when I know that the other person needs it more than me. Ultimately, I did experience receiving better and more benefits after lending help to those in need. So, either the art of giving is practiced due to my own selfishness or selflessness, I still reap the benefits at the end of the day.
