Why people don't take time  to live life at it's fullest ?

Because people are so focused on their future. No one takes the time to worry about what's happening NOW or what to do NOW. All they think about is what they'll do later, or what they can do to help themselves later. Spontaneity has to be spontaneous, and not many people understand that. \n\nTo live your life, you actually have to be a part of it. Watching from the sidelines is only a waste of a good game.\n\n\nLive, Love, Laugh. ♥

there's a lot to do in life, if u don't have anything to do and u think ur not worth living then just do it! (not advisable though)

Some people just dont have the love for life that the rest of us have.

I believe we are set on a certain path for this life, and that path remains hidden to us until we pass on.  For this reason, life is better taken in stride, letting it unfold before you as opposed to expecting this or that.  We don't control anything, but rather live under the illusion of control.

i think a lot of people who want to be totally present cannot be because we are humans that way.  we strive for it, of course, but nobody would could be completely that.  even the greatest, most intuned people has to think about the past and the futrue.

Because it's not in our human nature. We simply aren't built to be all placid in utopia.

Because life is depressing, with not enough time for relaxing. I am worried that time is running and I do not get enough time to enjoy myself, my youth and my energy and that before I know it I will be an old woman regretting the time gone without enjoyment.

People spend to much time thinking about  this.. Don't\n\nGo find a hobby and enjoy life, the right person will come along when the time is right.

Some people are of low character, and don't know how to get what they want without using people.  Some use people to fill a vacuum in their own life.  Without feeling much to give, they take, take, take.

If you live in fear of something then you can not experience life's full potential.

maybe because we have lack of knowledge to encounter some hardships and trials. but not all the time a life goes like that. as it is said, life is full of instances, sometimes you're up...sometimes you're down. enjoy your life and valued every failure and success you may encounter

Life is so expensive, people are thinking about day to day survival, not what is going to happen after death. People do not want to think about, or discuss, or spend money on their death. I do not think it is selfishness at all. I think it is often lack of resources, and always human nature.

Many people take life for granted because they have never seen the face of death.  They have no concept of their own mortality.  That is why the very young tend to be so daring in their behavior, often courting disaster because they believe it can't happen to them.  However, those who have lived some time and have had personal bereavements and near death experiences can appreciate life more because they know it is fragile, priceless and irreplaceable.

I know exactly what you are saying.Often times feeling like a rat on the wheel. Some days I run and run and at the end of he day I ask myself why I did this again?? I am a divorced mother of three daughters whose father for ten years has not supported them. So I am there everything. Knowing now exactly what i want in life but it doesnt exist. Noone today seperates there lives into compartments and feeds each aspect the sould needs. We all did it in college. We were organized and prioritized and took those much needed breaks but as adults we run and run for what?? When you die that money wont go with you. God will ask us what good did we do?? I want to enjoy and know that I lived life not let my life pass me by. Only yesterday it seems i was a child with no reponsibilties and obligations and today is different. It goes faster than you reliaze and as u get older its quicker. Live your life!!For those of us who can nolonger. Dont make the same mistakes I did.

I am more afraid to NOT live for God.  I don't think people are afraid they are just too lazy and self centered.  Truely living a life that is pleasing to the Most Merciful is not easy but it is well worth the work.

I think that the people who take their lives to the fullest extent have strong ambitions, a zest for life, and are open to creative thoughts and desires in their own lives.  The desire to succeed is stronger then anything else when they are young and this sets the stage for every stage that their lives go through thereafter. Not all people are gifted.  Some people start with nothing and attain the highest degree of life possible and others have it all and can go on to attain the highest degree of life possible. Its like a "crap shoot"! Anyone with a strong desire to succeed in what they do and reach the highest of goals can have the same things.  God, Faith, hope, preserverence, stamina, love of people etc. are just a few of the parts that connect to the whole picture.

It's not, it's painful to resist the flow of life. When we openly accept life for what it is, even what would normally be painful can become beautiful. The more we demand and expect life to be, the more disappointed we will become. Because no matter what we have or experience there is always something better or more that we haven't partaken of. When we become at peace with who we are and our place in the big picture, pain has nothing to attach to us.
