Living a full life does not mean that you have to live to a ripe old age. You may live to be well over a hundred and still not be classed as having lived a full life.
There are many people that have lived a long time without ever achieving their expectations in life, and still have unfulfilled ambitions. Then there are some people regardless of their ages that have lived their lives with lots of fulfillment, joy and contentment.
However those that are in the latter may not necessarily have been endowed with all the worldly goods of the former group.
The latter may have embraced their dreams a lot quicker. They may have been more aware of all the blessings and opportunities that life has bestowed upon them, and made more from the situations that they found themselves in.
We all wake in the morning and sleep in the night. But some people are just more adept at grabbing their opportunities at the first time of asking and as such probably feel as though they have gained more in their lives than others.
Making a list of all the things in life that you currently have, and all the things that you are lacking will bring you to realize that the first list is not only a longer list, but it is also filled with more things that are important to us than anything on the second list.
Your first list will undoubtedly contain all the people in your life that you love and who in turn love you. It will also contain the fact that as every new day dawns you are allowed to spend it learning and loving with all those that are nearest and dearest to you.
When you then compare this to the second list I think that you will find that there is not actually much that you can put down on the second list that is as important to you.
