Living Fully Quotes

“THE GOOD LIFE requires that we take pleasure in new things; A GOOD LIFE requires that we take pleasure in moments.

To enjoy THE GOOD LIFE we have to get ahead; to enjoy A GOOD LIFE we have to make the trip worthwhile.

THE GOOD LIFE is supported by feeding our pocketbooks; A GOOD LIFE is supported by feeding our souls.”
― Steve Goodier

“It's just...It's just, if I didn't see these windows until today, what else did I miss?”
― Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine

“I had grown up thinking of life as a series of linear decisions that if made properly would land me on some distant safe shore where I would finally enjoy the fruits of my labor. Now that I was getting a glimpse of that shore I was struck by the inanity of such an equation. My mother was never going to get another chance to do anything else. She did not have the capacity for regrets, nor was she even able to enjoy the comfort of nostalgia or fond memories--her mind had leaked away too imperceptibly to allow for the clarity to look back on her life and wish she had done things differently. As I continued to worry over what sort of future I was setting myself up for, she seemed a painful cautionary tale that life was not a savings plan, accrued now for enjoyment later. I was alive now. My responsibility was to live now as fully as possible.”
― Glynnis MacNicol, No One Tells You This

“The gift of deciding to face your mortality without turning away or flinching is the gift of recognizing that because you will die, you must live now. Whether you flounder or flourish is always in your hands—you are the single biggest influence in your life.

― Oprah Winfrey, What I Know for Sure

“People who think before they talk are somewhat adorable in an abhorrent way. They live half of everybody's full life. They kill themselves too soon, but they don’t let themselves be buried soon either. Morally happy rationally disturbed.”
― Rao Umar Javed

“To be or not to be? Is that really the question? Or should it be: To dance or not to dance?

― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“Death is an inevitable part of life. We all know that we will one day leave this world, but we often forget how precious each moment is until it's too late.”
― Sam Izad, Snackable Existentialism: Small Portions, Big Ideas

“Life is not a series of tasks to be completed but a sacred dance to be savored, where every breath, every heartbeat, is an invitation to commune with the mystery of life.”
― Alma Camino

“On a global scale, the soulful path beckons us to expand our circle of compassion, to recognize the deep interconnectedness of all beings. As we grow in awareness of our own soul, we cannot help but feel the presence of other souls—human, animal, plant, and even the earth itself. We begin to see that the pain of the world is our pain, that the joy of others is our joy, and that the well-being of the planet is inextricably linked to our own. This awareness calls us to live with greater care, to honor the sacredness of all life, and to act in ways that nurture and protect the delicate web of life that sustains us all.”
― Alma Camino

“As we reflect on the life/death riddle we may be surprised at how many options it inspires. Rather than our freedom being curtailed by having just a year left, we uncover something quite unsuspected and satisfying. We discover how much more room we have for life and how many possibilities there are to be fully alive.”
― Stephen Levine, A Year to Live: How to Live This Year as If It Were Your Last
