Life

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience."
Eleanor Roosevelt

Not many of us really live our lives. We sort of trudge through it, following no particular path, dealing with whatever seems most urgent and just being glad to have made it through the day. We don't even know what we really want. We are mostly stuck within our comfort zones and afraid to try anything new. When was the last time you tried something totally new? When was the last time you took a risk? When was the last time you acheived a particularly satisfying goal? I bet it was a long time ago, too long ago.

Someone who really lives their life is eager to try out new experiences just for the sake of doing something new. They are constantly seeking growth and expansion. They are not afraid of failure because they know that the only way they can ever really fail is if they either never take action in the first place or if they don't learn anything about themself from the experience. They live at the edge of their comfort zone so it is constantly expanding. They are the people who are truly successful because they truly enjoy their lives.
