When I herd we were going to write a paper on how we could live life to the fullest and why life is to be lived and, I was very excited. I feel that if you waste your life by only doing enough to get by should be a crime. We were put on this earth to do something special with our lives and we should never take that for granted. People that do not do everything to the best of their abilities aren’t only cheating themselves but also the others around them. Throughout this paper I will be explaining why I feel that living my life to the fullest is so important.One of the first reasons everyone should live their lives to the fullest is because if you don’t you will have missed out on so many great opportunities. If you don’t do the best you can in everything than you’ll never know how far you could have gotten. Take a sport for instance, if you don’t practice than you’ll never get any better. Yet if you do put everything you have into that sport you will become one of the best athletes on that field. You can apply that same determination to school work, your job, your marriage, pretty much anything you do in life you should do your best. Not only will you succeed in life if you do your best you will be happy with yourself.You should live your life to the fullest in your community by helping people when they need it. I mean if you see one of your neighbours bringing in their groceries you should go and help them. Also if you make a promise to someone you should follow through on that promise.In your community you should give up some of your free time to the community by volunteering. When you volunteer you help the people in need and you feel great about yourself when you are done. When you live your life to the fullest everyone benefits from it.There are a lot of meaningful people in my life that help me live my life to the fullest. One of those people is my father. My father has always told me that I can do anything if I put my mind to it.Life is to be lived. No excuses. No reservations. No holding back.
