“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste, to experience the outmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences” – Eleanor Roosevelt –

This quote has always kept me going; somehow, her words seemed to linger in my mind. Living in the moment and experiencing life to the fullest. Taking chances, exploring possibilities. Making the best out of every opportunity that life has to offer. Being fearless to try anything, anything at all.

Having these thoughts, I always make sure to grab every opportunity that comes my way, no matter how hard and difficult it is. People may judge me and label me as impulsive, but I don’t care. This is my life, and I won’t let anybody control it. I will collect as many memories as I can, I will enrich myself with experience, and train myself to be wise. When I get older, I don’t want to wonder what could have happened if I did this and that. I don’t want to look back on my younger years and ask myself, “What if?” I can only live once, and I intend to make the best out of it.

“I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul” – William Ernest Henley –

True indeed, we are the ones that are responsible for ourselves. What we will become is the sum of the choices and risks that we make in our lifetime. We are responsible for enriching ourselves with ideas, memories, and experiences that are worth reminiscing when we get old and are no longer capable of doing the things we used to do.

I may not be that organized, and I don’t usually plan my next move, but what I am certain of is that I am always grateful for those chances that life presented to me. Some didn’t turn out great, some even failed and went straight down the drain, but I know that as I continue my path in life, I have gathered a lot of experience and memories that have somehow made me wiser. Failure after failure, I learned, and I became wiser within.

Live your life with such eagerness to experience and learn, only then can you say you lived a life to the fullest.
